Addiction and Spirituality: A Multidisciplinary Approach

Author: H Benjamin Bohren

Recovering addicts often testify to the power of a spiritual element in their healing and continuing sobriety. Those who treat addiction also recognize the value of spirituality, but there is, as yet, no general agreement on what spirituality is and how it works.

This groundbreaking volume gathers reflective essays from recognized, respected professionals in such diverse fields as medicine, psychiatry, clinical psychology, and pastoral counseling, each with his or her unique perspective on the role of spirituality in addiction and recovery.

From the juxtaposition of these varying points of view can come an ongoing conversation on both the theoretical and practical implications of spirituality and addiction.
