This newly updated and streamlined edition of Group Psychotherapy with Addicted Populations provides proven strategies for combating alcohol and drug addiction through group psychotherapy. The interventions discussed in the book build on a foundation of addiction as an attachment disorder rooted in the understanding of addiction as a family disease.

Having identified the essential theoretical underpinnings of supporting recovery from addiction in Part One, the second half of the book gives a thorough nuts and bolts description of constructing a psychotherapy group and engaging productively in the successive phases of its development from initiation of treatment to termination. The book concludes with specific recommendations for group psychotherapists to increase their competence with groups, deepen their appreciation of group and organizational dynamics and develop a community of support for their own well-being.These methods are important for psychotherapists working with addicted populations who are inexperienced with group psychotherapy as well as seasoned group psychotherapists wishing to enhance their work.

I kept putting myself in danger, and I couldn't make it stop. It rarely felt like a choice, though, of course, it was. It's only the death drive, my dear, Freud would likely tell me, if I lay my body down on his carpet covered couch. Everybody needs a little oblivion. Besides, what is the fantasy of the knight on a white charger if not an abandonment wish? A desire to be rescued from your own life by a story.This Ragged Grace tells the story of Octavia's journey to recovery from alcohol addiction, and the parallel story of her father's descent into Alzheimer's. Looking back over this time, each of the seven chapters explores the feelings and experiences of the corresponding year of recovery, tracing the shift in emotion and understanding that comes with the deepening connection to this new way of life. Over the course of this seven-year period, life continues to unfold. Paths are abandoned, people fall ill, waters get choppy, seemingly impossible things are navigated without the old fixes. As Octavia moves between London, the island of Stromboli, New York, Cornwall and Margate, each place offers something new but ultimately always delivers the same message: that wherever you go, you take yourself with you.

Pourtant, elle reste l'un de ceux qui sont les moins bien pris en charge : seuls 15% des personnes alcoolodépendantes sont diagnostiquées et, parmi celles-ci, seule une sur deux est traitée. Comment expliquer ce phénomène? Comment y remédier? Et comment savoir si l'on est concerné? Thomas Orban, médecin généraliste et alcoologue, et Vincent Liévin, journaliste spécialiste des questions de santé, proposent une vision neuve et inédite de la prise en charge des personnes confrontées à de problèmes d'alcool. Se basant sur les dernières recherches scientifiques et de nombreuses situations concrètes, ils invitent chacun à une prise de conscience de sa propre consommation, détaillent les signes avant-coureurs de l'alcoolo-dépendance et exposent les risques qui y sont liés.

Where did Temporary Sobriety Initiatives (TSIs) such as Dry January, FebFast and Ocsober, come from? And what is their role, if any, in prompting people to revisit their relationship with alcohol? These organized campaigns have flourished throughout the English-speaking world in the past decade. Collectively, they involve thousands of participants and raise substantial sums of money for medical research, as well as drug and alcohol related charities. Alcohol, Binge Sobriety and Exemplary Abstinence considers these campaigns as part of a lifestyle movement that transcends single events and even singular national contexts. It uses case studies from Australia, the USA and the UK to examine both the short history of TSIs as a response to problematic localized drinking cultures – including binge drinking – and their relationship to a much longer and transnational history of temperance activism. In taking TSIs as a case study of both embodied philanthropy and participatory health promotion, this book considers how TSIs are structured, promoted and experienced as an embodied event to create imitable, and sometimes contradictory, examples to create a public pedagogy of'responsible drinking'.

Love Without Martinis also offers practical tools to readers to help them on their own recovery journey.

Alkoholmissbrauch und Alkoholabhängigkeit sind in Deutschland sehr verbreitet. Die Betroffenen haben oft große Schwierigkeiten, ihre Sucht zu überwinden. Hierfür sind v. a. die Wirkungen von Alkohol auf das Gehirn, insbesondere auf das psychische Befinden, verantwortlich. Bei längerem erhöhtem Alkoholkonsum kommt es sehr häufig auch zu körperlichen Erkrankungen und sozialen Folgeerscheinungen. Das Buch stellt all diese Aspekte der alkoholbezogenen Störungen fundiert dar. Aufbauend auf der über 35-jährigen klinischen Erfahrung des Autors werden praktische, d. h. auf den Alltag bezogene Behandlungsstrategien aufgezeigt, insbesondere therapeutische Interventionsmöglichkeiten in verschiedenen Behandlungskonstellationen.

According to the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 14.4 million adults aged 18 and older had alcohol use disorder (AUD). Mixing alcohol with other drugs such as opioids or cocaine has become an emerging trend, exacerbating public health concerns and may synergistically augment the seriousness of the adverse effects such as withdrawal symptoms, cardiovascular disorders, liver damage, reproductive abnormalities, and behavioral abnormalities. Despite the seriousness of the situation, possible mechanisms underlying the addiction and the withdrawal symptoms is not yet understood. This has been one of the key hindrances in developing effective treatment. Neurobiology of Alcohol and the Brain addresses the addiction-related problems reviewing both the mechanisms and withdrawal system with alcohol addiction. First, the book discusses the mechanisms of the rewarding and aversive effects, including addiction and the withdrawal symptoms of alcohol drinking. Next, alcohol's interaction with other drugs and ensuing adverse consequences is discussed including current and novel treatments against alcoholism. This is followed by a closer look at mental health and alcohol use disorder comorbidity. Lastly, the reader is provided with examples of an experimental study that describes possible protective effects of gold nanoparticles against alcohol addiction in rats subjected to alcohol self-administration. Neurobiology of Alcohol and the Brain will unlock the mechanistic diversities of alcoholism helping to facilitate future developments of new, personalized treatment options for patients suffering from alcohol addiction. - Provides an exhaustive overview of neurobiology of alcohol addiction, including significant recent advances - Discusses the mechanisms underlying the adverse effects of alcohol-drug mixtures - Includes recent experimental studies on gold nanoparticles

Entre la actitud indiferente del ciudadano de a pie y la mirada distante e impasible de una sociedad que reduce todo a un dato estadístico, los adictos se debaten a diario por encontrar su lugar en un mundo “normal” que a partes iguales añoran y, a su vez, perciben con desconfianza.

After almost 38 years in the Program of Alcoholics Anonymous, I am still in awe of the miracles I see. People who are so messed up when they first come into this program and soon after totally change into a rational, clear thinking human beings. This happens not by just going to meetings, that won't do it. It is only by fully immersing themselves into the 12 Steps that an incredible metamorphosis happens.Trembling despairing people turn into people you would be pleased to know. Even to call them a friend, when a few short months before you wouldn't have allowed them into your home. By being honest with yourself, working to live on a spiritual basis and getting an open mind for new approaches to life is a big part of how it works.This is not a religious movement at all. Religion has rules. Spirituality has only guidelines and suggestions. The person is free to find their own way looking only to live by spiritual principals instead of their previous personality. The true beauty of this process is you get better in spite of yourself. You simply follow the steps and changes within happen. Even those around you, like friends and family, will notice a difference. It seems that once we address the spiritual sickness within (because we spiritual beings) we straighten out mentally and physically. Over the last 38 years, I have had wondrous experiences, some of which I share in this guide.Even if your issue is not alcohol, this process will help you. Food, gambling, porn addiction, anger, you name the issue and the steps will help you out of it. Just do a Google search and look for groups like gamblers anonymous and over-eaters anonymous. They all use the 12 step process because it works. It actually works. You just have to get honest and work through the 12 step process.I wanted to put a 12 step guide into today's language to make the process easier to do, so you would get a better understanding of what you're doing. Just take a look at the reviews and see if people agree if I was successful at that goal.So if you're in trouble because of some recurring issue, this process can help you. Just replace the word'alcohol'with pretty much whatever problem you are having and get started.You can download Step One at no charge to see how I present the material and if you want to pick up the rest of the steps, the options are there for digital downloads or even getting a paperback edition in either size that suits you.I wish the best for you and I hope I can be of service if needed.Anonymous Guest Typical reviews: 5.0 out of 5 stars- Practical, down-to-earth, very helpful, highly recommended Written in a plain, personable voice, these guides speak clearly and simply about'effective'implementation of the 12 Steps of AA. I'm reminded of a few game-changing one-on-one, over-coffee conversations I've had with other people who were trying to get, and stay, sober - for real.Hadn't had a conversation like that in way too long.I first bought the Step 3 guide, to see, and went ahead and bought the full 12 Step set, (at 50% off!,) because I liked what the Step 3 guide had to offer, and wanted to look at the Step 2 guide next. In for a penny...The Step 2 guide is, for me, real practical and real relevant. 32 years clean doesn't automatically translate to serenity, and I found strong support in this guide to where I would rather be in that regard. Got that still, soft sense of hope, again. That's been a while, too.Whether the other 10 guides will be as applicable, at this point, I am real glad I stumbled across them. 5.0 out of 5 stars-One of the best. This book covers the steps like no other. For any newbie doing the steps, this book is a must. 5.0 out of 5 stars-Progress not perfection Not only does the author make the steps do

Comment passer du gaspillage des objets à la sobriété matérielle? Alors que les médias ne cessent de parler du gaspillage alimentaire, de l'eau ou de l'énergie, celui des objets matériels, sujet de ce livre, est largement moins médiatisé. Ce qui l'est, ce sont les pratiques de circulation des objets fondées sur le don, la vente, l'échange, le troc qui s'inscrivent dans l'économie circulaire et/ou collaborative. Qu'est-ce que le gaspillage des objets pour les personnes? Pensent-elles « gaspillage » lorsqu'elles achètent une paire de chaussures quasiment identique à une paire possédée? Lorsqu'elles accumulent des téléphones portables inutilisés dans un tiroir? Lorsqu'elles donnent des vêtements à une association pour faire de la place dans les placards… et acheter des modèles « plus neufs » ou « plus à la mode »? Dans l'affirmative, s'agit-il du gaspillage des objets, d'argent, de travail, de ressources naturelles? Ce livre apporte des éléments de réponse. Il questionne les relations des individus aux objets matériels via leur perte d'utilité, autrement dit via leur gaspillage, en trois temps : gaspiller, remédier au gaspillage et devenir sobre. Le premier temps fournit des éléments pour comprendre le concept du gaspillage dans une société d'hyperconsommation. Le deuxième donne la parole à des professionnels du terrain (Emmaüs, Halte à l'Obsolescence Programmée, Zéro Waste France, Agence du Don en Nature, Réseau Francilien des Acteurs du Réemploi) exerçant un regard pratique et parfois critique sur le gaspillage des objets. Enfin, le dernier temps discute la notion de sobriété matérielle et l'éprouve dans des contextes quotidiens, que ce soit via la réduction de la consommation par des personnes qui s'en lancent le défi ou via le désencombrement par des home-organizers. Deux regards englobants, psychologique et sociologique, introduisent et concluent ces réflexions.

A groundbreaking and inspiring book that challenges our relationship with alcohol by exploring the psychological factors behind alcohol use and the cultural influences that contribute to dependency. Many people question whether drinking has become too big a part of their lives, and worry that it may even be affecting their health. But, they resist change because they fear losing the pleasure and stress-relief associated with alcohol, and assume giving it up will involve deprivation and misery. This Naked Mind offers a new, positive solution. Here, Annie Grace clearly presents the psychological and neurological components of alcohol use based on the latest science, and reveals the cultural, social, and industry factors that support alcohol dependence in all of us. Packed with surprising insight into the reasons we drink and Annie's own extraordinary and candid personal story, This Naked Mind will open your eyes to the startling role of alcohol in our culture, and how the stigma of alcoholism and recovery keeps people from getting the help they need. This Naked Mind will give you freedom from alcohol. It removes the psychological dependence so that you will not crave alcohol, allowing you to easily drink less (or stop drinking). With clarity, humor, and a unique blend of science and storytelling, This Naked Mind will open the door to the life you have been waiting for. “You have given me my live back.” —Katy F., Albuquerque, New Mexico “This is an inspiring and groundbreaking must-read. I am forever inspired and changed.” —Kate S., Los Angeles, California “The most selfless and amazing book that I have ever read.” —Bernie M., Dublin, Ireland

Here is a practical and clearly written guide to the use of Neuro-Linguistic Programming in the treatment of alcoholism and other addictions. This comprehensive volume illustrates how the focus of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) on the individual and the family increases the effectiveness of counseling by targeting the uniqueness of each individual and his or her family system. Professionals will also learn how NLP facilitates effective interventions and helps alcoholics create internal coping skills to begin and maintain the recovery process. Neuro-Linguistic Programming in Alcoholism Treatment is a wealth of innovative, state-of-the-art information on the history of NLP, basic NLP assumptions, concepts for establishing rapport with clients, and essential family participation in NLP.Each chapter directs itself either to a specific NLP technique, featuring clear case demonstrations and a step-by-step outline for applying the technique to the development of the counseling process in working with addicted systems, or to a particular group affected by addiction, such as alcoholics, children of alcoholics, or the addicted family as a unit. Clinicians focus on alcoholism and other addictions as treatable conditions, applying specific strategies and techniques--initially developed in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Hypnotherapy--adapted to meet the demands of alcoholism and addiction treatment specialists. This important volume allows for a substantial increase in the repertoire of treatment choices available to professionals and enables clinicians to individualize treatment. An extensive bibliography is included to further assist readers in gaining additional skills in the treatment of alcoholics and other addicts.

This guide contains a clearly structured, comprehensive, and self-contained therapy unit for the treatment of alcohol addicted patients. It is designed and evaluated for our- and in-patient group therapies and provides as well useful suggestions for single therapies of alcohol-addicted patients. A new approach is the implementation of recent neurobiological results and consequences for psychotherapeutic treatment. The descriptions of therapy modules and work material on CD-ROM provide a swift and practically oriented integration of the concept in everyday therapy.

Het blijkt dat problematisch alcohol- en druggebruik veelvuldig onder de algemene bevolking voorkomt, maar slechts een klein deel van deze groep klopt aan bij de hulpverlening. Dit is zorgwekkend, omdat excessief middelengebruik vaak leidt tot een veelheid aan problemen, waarbij ook de levens van belangrijke naasten zoals familie en vrienden ontwricht kunnen worden door het gebruik van alcohol en drugs. Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) is een kortdurende training die zich richt op familieleden en goede vrienden van individuen die kampen met alcohol- en/of drugsproblemen. CRAFT raakt in toenemende mate ingeburgerd in de Nederlandse behandelpraktijk, maar een boek voor zorgprofessionals ontbrak tot op heden. Deze uitgave vult die leemte. Wetenschappelijk onderzoek heeft aangetoond dat CRAFT in staat is om individuen met problematisch middelengebruik in behandeling te krijgen door het trainen van belangrijke naasten. Het blijkt tevens dat deze familieleden zelf verbeteren in termen van psychologisch welbevinden, fysieke gesteldheid, depressie- en angstklachten. Dit boek beschrijft verschillende klinische procedures zodat het direct door behandelaren kan worden toegepast bij partners, ouders, andere familieleden en naastbetrokkenen. Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT): klinische procedures voor het trainen van familieleden van problematisch alcohol- en druggebruikers wordt aanbevolen voor zorgprofessionals uit de klinische praktijk, zoals psychiaters, artsen, psychologen, verpleegkundigen, systeemtherapeuten, agogen en andere professionals die actief zijn in de zorg. Prof. Dr. Hendrik G. Roozen is gezondheidszorgpsycholoog en als bijzonder hoogleraar Verslaving verbonden aan Tranzo, wetenschappelijk centrum voor zorg en welzijn van Tilburg University. Voorts verricht hij consultaties vanuit het adviesbureau Roozen & Meyers Consultancy bij tal van gezondheidszorg-, forensische en verslavingszorginstellingen. Hij is als staflid (gecertificeerd trainer en supervisor) opgenomen bij Robert J. Meyers, Ph.D & Associates (VS). Prof. Dr. Robert J. Meyers is verbonden als emeritus hoogleraar aan de Universiteit van New Mexico. Hij is al meer dan 35 jaar werkzaam op het terrein van middelengebruik en heeft diverse boeken en tientallen artikelen gepubliceerd. Hij is de grondlegger van de Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) en verzorgt tal van workshops bij zorgprofessionals over de hele wereld. Prof. Dr. Jane Ellen Smith is hoofd van de afdeling psychologie aan de Universiteit van New Mexico. Smith is klinisch-psycholoog en gespecialiseerd in zowel middelengebruik als eetstoornissen. Behalve dat zij de afgelopen 27 jaar gedoceerd heeft aan de afdeling psychologie, is zij de afgelopen 20 jaar veelvuldig betrokken geweest bij het trainen van hulpverleners in de VS en daarbuiten.
