This breakthrough new treatment approach by a Harvard psychologist
and trauma and addiction expert offers a step-by-step program to
help women overcome the often-overlooked core problems that drive
their drug and alcohol addictions. Women and girls are now becoming
addicted at greater rates than at any other time at history-and
until very recently women in recovery were dependent on treatment
models based solely on work with men. Harvard addiction and trauma
expert Lisa Najavits contends that women often stay addicted
because of core, untreated problems that then underlie their
addiction. Najavits has now developed a breakthrough new treatment
model for women based on specific factors underlying women's
addiction and on elements vital to their recovery. In this
strengths-building workbook, women pinpoint their core problems and
take steps to come to terms with their personal addiction stories.
Through exercises that help them overcome these deep-seated
problems and break the cycle of "using to forget," readers begin to
build newfound strengths and self-respect and go on to learn how to
tolerate distress, endure being alone, reach out to others, express
needs, and set boundaries. A final chapter offers advice on getting
help and a directory of recovery options.
