Tens of millions of women today drink to excess and their numbers are growing. Now Dr. Kitty Harris, an experienced counselor and therapist who is herself a recovering alcoholic with more than thirty years of sobriety, presents a new model for recovery that focuses on treating the pain in women's lives that can lead to a vicious cycle of addiction—not on the shame that fuels it. Combining her personal and professional experience, Dr. Harris offers tools that can help women who want to recover as well as friends or family members who are seeking help for a loved one.
- Focuses on dealing with the pain associated with alcoholism in women, not reinforcing the shame
- Discusses the different types of female drinking habits, including binge drinking and drunkorexia
- Takes a plain-language, jargon-free approach that is easy to understand and shares the stories of recovering women of all ages and from all walks of life
- Is written by Dr. Kitty Harris, Director of The Center for the Study of Addiction and Recovery at Texas Tech University, with twenty-five years of private clinical experience working with adults and adolescents
KITTY S. HARRIS, Ph.D., is Director of the Center for the Study of Addiction and Recovery at Texas Tech University, Associate Dean of Outreach and Engagement in Texas Tech's College of Human Sciences, and Executive Director of the Ranch at Dove Tree, a residential alcohol and drug treatment center.
JODIE GOULD is an award-winning journalist and the author or coauthor of six other books, including Beautiful Brain, Beautiful You.
