Coyote Speaks describes the strengths, the strategies, and the
resilience a therapist needs to work successfully with alcoholics
and addicts. It reports what a therapist sees, hears, smells, and
feels in the midst of treating those yet to achieve sobriety, those
recently sober, and those with years of recovery behind them. In
the Navajo cosmology, those possessed by Coyote are neither
inherently evil nor morally lacking, but like alcoholics and
addicts they suffer from a malady of the soul as much as the body.
The provocative humor of Coyote stories illustrates the mercurial
and quixotic nature of the alcoholic and addict in treatment, while
evocative case histories from the author's private practice reveal
the humanity behind a disease that binds two individuals in a
struggle toward honesty, humility, and sobriety. Coyote Speaks
explores the darkness of alcohol and drug addiction, the humility
we accept when we acknowledge our limitations as therapists, and
the redemption we witness as we attend to a disease that is at best
treatable. It is about caring enough, sometimes too much, and about
knowing when to let go. It is about the importance of examining the
trickster in each of us, and it is about listening, when Coyote
speaks.
