Publisher Description
Designed to be used with the book A Woman's Way through the Twelve Steps, this workbook helps deepen the understanding of the lessons taught and brings them to life with exercises and journaling activities.
Women's recovery can differ from men's, and each person's recovery is in many ways unique. That's why Stephanie Covington has designed this workbook to help a woman find her own path--and find it in terms especially suited to the way women experience not just addiction and recovery but also relationships, self, sexuality, and everyday life. Deepening and extending the lessons of a book that has helped countless women, this workbook makes A Woman's Way Through the Twelve Steps that much more measured, meaningful, and clear.
Unlike many "rewritten" Twelve Step interpretations for women, this guide works with the original Step language, preserving its spirit and focusing attention on its healing message. In sections devoted to each of the Twelve Steps, Covington blends narrative, self-assessment questions focused on a feminine definition of terms such as "powerlessness" and "letting go," guided imagery exercises, and physical activities.
A clinician and past consultant at the Betty Ford Center, Stephanie S. Covington, Ph.D., L.C.S.W., is the author of A Woman's Way Through the Twelve Steps, Leaving the Enchanted Forest: The Path from Relationship Addiction to Intimacy, and Awakening Your Sexuality: A Guide for Recovering Women.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The publisher of this book considers it "Too hot to publish in Britain and Ireland" because of libel laws, and independent TV producer McPhilemy does ignite political dynamite about the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC)--the state police of Northern Ireland--that could agitate the precarious ongoing peace process. He alleges that 60 people constitute "The Committee," which is comprised of the cadres of various Unionist organizations such as the Ulster Volunteer Force, Ulster Freedom Fighters and "from the higher ranks of the locally recruited security forces, the Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR) and the Royal Ulster Constabulary." The first murder carried out by the Committee was of Catholic Denis Carville in revenge for an IRA assassination, McPhilemy charges. Other sectarian killings followed of apolitical Catholics chosen at random. McPhilemy's company, Box Productions, uncovered the plot, eventually producing a documentary for Britain's commercial TV that aired in 1991. The report was criticized by the Protestant community. A court battle ensued between the RUC and the TV channel over sources which were not revealed, resulting in a contempt charge and a hefty fine. McPhilemy also describes his own successful libel battles against newspapers and the discovery of additional evidence that substantiates his allegations about the Committee. This is a startling, convincing expose. Photos not seen by PW.
