Communication in recovery

"This volume is a compilation of the latest applied research in the area of therapeutic communication focused specifically on the recovery process. Proceeding from the assumption that matters of health are rooted in the spirit, chapters draw from a variety of perspectives in examining and critiquing the ways in which individuals are empowered by themselves and others in making constructive life changes."--BOOK JACKET. "Drawing from the various 12-step group experiences, chapters examine the meaning of the recovery experience, the spiritual orientation of 12-step programs, and ways that the group facilitates changes."--BOOK JACKET.
