Lisa Najavits: A Woman's Addiction Workbook

A Woman's Addiction Workbook


Description

This breakthrough new treatment approach by a Harvard psychologist and trauma and addiction expert offers a step-by-step program to help women overcome the often-overlooked core problems that drive their drug and alcohol addictions. Women and girls are now becoming addicted at greater rates than at any other time at history-and until very recently women in recovery were dependent on treatment models based solely on work with men. Harvard addiction and trauma expert Lisa Najavits contends that women often stay addicted because of core, untreated problems that then underlie their addiction. Najavits has now developed a breakthrough new treatment model for women based on specific factors underlying women's addiction and on elements vital to their recovery. In this strengths-building workbook, women pinpoint their core problems and take steps to come to terms with their personal addiction stories. Through exercises that help them overcome these deep-seated problems and break the cycle of "using to forget," readers begin to build newfound strengths and self-respect and go on to learn how to tolerate distress, endure being alone, reach out to others, express needs, and set boundaries. A final chapter offers advice on getting help and a directory of recovery options.

If you put four dwarfs in one room with enough opium and alcohol, it's bound to end in tears...In 1935 MGM studios embarked on a movie adaptation of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The A Woman's Addiction Workbook download book production called for the casting of many dwarfs to play the Munchkins of the mythical Land of Oz and the studio began recruiting 'small persons' from all over the world. During production, rumours spread around Hollywood of wild Munchkin sex orgies, drunken behavior and general dwarf debauchery. More sinisterly, a Munchkin is said to have committed suicide by hanging himself on the set during filming - what appears to be a small human body is clearly visible hanging from a tree in the Tin Man scene. It is a claim that has passed into Hollywood legend. Set in a hotel room in Culver City, California, Babylon Heights is Irvine Welsh and Dean Cavanagh's scabrous and hilarious imagining of what could, very possibly, have led to that dwarf suicide. Babylon Heights premiered at the Exit Theatre, San Francisco, in June 2006.
