For forty years, H. Leroy Thompson served as a counselor and a
trainer of counselors, with a focus on chemical dependency. During
this time, he has come to realize that, as significant as theory is
to counseling, when it comes to effective results, practice is the
key.
"Unwrapping the Gifts of Recovery" is a valuable resource for
chemical dependency counselors that mentions theory, but focuses on
practice. Full of guides, step-by-step processes, and counselor
exercises, this book teaches tools that professionals can apply to
achieve more effective outcomes in their counseling practices.
Recovery is a joint effort between the counselor and the client,
but it begins with and will be unique to the client. Counselors
will learn the best way to elicit and engage their clients' values
and beliefs in order to help them successfully achieve abstinence,
sobriety, and recovery.
Written for chemical dependency counselors and therapists, this
book can be used as a quick reference, additional training, or a
re-imagining of how to approach the work of recovery. Readers will
be both reminded of why they chose their profession and motivated
to continue unwrapping the gifts of recovery with their clients for
many years to come.
