This volume describes the most current gestalt approaches to
treating substance abuse and other self-medicating behaviors by a
leading practitioner and scholar in the field. It is based on the
gestalt view of the self-medicating dynamic as one of pattern
repetition and difficulty overcoming rigid patterns of response to
sensory experience and life's routine demands.
The book provides a practical model for helping clients with the
gamut of self-medicating behaviors-substance and alcohol abuse,
overeating, gambling, overworking, rage, and others-and describes a
recovery program as a system created to change one's lifestyle over
time through the development of disciplines that ultimately shape
one's life. The volume will also be helpful to therapists in other
modalities as an alternative therapy when treating self-medicating
clients, as well as a spiritual alternative to the 12-step
approach. Key Features:
Applies current gestalt therapy approaches to the spectrum of
addictive behaviors Provides practical treatment models for
self-medicating behaviors Written by a prominent practitioner and
scholar of gestalt therapy Offers a spiritual alternative to the
12-step approach to recovery
