issues which must be addressed and resolved for recovery to
proceed. Utilising extensive research and elucidating case studies,
Carnes develops concrete tasks and plans for restoring nurturing
and sensuality, building fulfilling relationships, exploring
intimacy, and creating healthy sexuality. Woven throughout the book
are stories of recovery which illustrate sexual healing principles,
model new behaviour, and support motivation for change.Sexual
Anorexia enables those suffering from this disorder to recognise
that sex need not be a furtive enemy to be fought and defeated but,
instead, a deeply sensual, passionate, fulfilling, and spiritual
experience that all human beings are innately entitled to.

Renowned addiction expert Patrick Carnes, Ph.D., author of A Gentle
Path through the Twelve Steps, outlines twelve guiding principles
to help those in recovery develop an essential skill set for life.
Twelve Steps. Twelve Traditions. And yes, Twelve Principles. The
Steps outline the actions that lead to extraordinary healing. The
Traditions exist as guides to the functioning of the Fellowship.
Embedded in both is a series of Principles by which to measure your
progress. Anyone who lives a Twelve Step way of life will recognize
the principles passed on in A Gentle Path through the 12
Principles. They have existed among fellowships as a hidden
curriculum of fundamental truths about recovery for decades, but
never before have they been distilled into a succinct set of values
that, when practiced, help each of us to develop an essential skill
set for life. The principles--such universal touchstones for human
self-realisation as acceptance, awareness, responsibility,
openness, and honesty--are concepts that enable a deep inner study
and focus to make a new life happen in recovery. Recovery means
reengineering your life with a focus on renewal. The Twelve
Principles are designed to help you get there.
