Many Roads, One Journey – Moving Beyond The Twelve Steps
$19.99
Author: Charlotte Davis. Kasl, PhD
From the author of Women, Sex, and Addiction, comes a timely and controversial second look at 12-Step programs. This book helps all readers to draw on the steps’ underlying wisdom, adapting them to their own experiences, beliefs, and sources of strength.
This book is a life saver for those in recovery who don’t fit into the typical 12-step Alcoholics Anonymous model or who want to have a more expansive view. Davis validates other paths to healing and recovery and explains the problems many people face in 12-step groups. She also outlines her own more empowering steps (16 steps in all) that take into account the need to explore how oppressions such as racism, sexism, and homophobia play into addiction and recovery.
Charlotte D. Kasl is a social activist and a psychologist at the forefront of the empowerment movement sweeping the recovery field. She lectures and leads workshops in the United States and abroad and lives near Missoula, MT.
Reviews
“Many Roads, One Journey” is a pioneering work with a depth of insight and social consciousness that are rare in the addiction field, which all too often seeks simple answers for complex problems. Kasl’s 16 steps for empowerment and her re-framing of codependency as Internalized oppression are gifts for “all” women.”
