The focus of this book is on the similarities between the Twelve Steps and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In a clear step-by-step fashion, the two processes are discussed and evaluated. What are often seen as opposing approaches are, upon close examination, found to have great similarities that bring them much closer and more in line than previously considered.

 

Clear and practical examples outline the premise pursued, which is that a solution needs to cover all of the elements of addiction – the biological, psychological, and social.

​

This thorough examination of CBT and the twelve steps provides a comforting and supportive accompaniment to anyone requiring further insight about the essence of addiction and addiction therapy.
