AA: Who It Helps, Who It Harms, Who It Kills, & Why

This Guide offers a research based description of the various personality types which respond well to AA, are harmed by AA, and/or destroyed by AA. It is based on over 30 years of research and the practical experience of over 500 clients and 300 of their spouses, family, partners and/or friends. It offers a research based approach to helping clients at whatever level of self-medication with alcohol they are experiencing. It also resolves the "disease' vs "choice" debate with a far more accurate "symptom" model which allows clinicians to effectively individualize treatment with such proven measures as CBT, assertiveness training, Naltrexone support, motivational interviewing and other effective measures.
