Recommended Reading
Here is a list of books and other resources on such topics as alcoholism and drug abuse, chemical dependency, codependency, family dynamics of addiction and recovery, co-occurring disorders or dual diagnoses, mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, anger, forgiveness, bipolar disorder, couples' money issues, family business issues, work addiction, sexual addiction, chronic pain and addiction, relationship issues, including pre-marriage, marriage, divorce, and remarriage, mid-life issues, professional and entrepeneurial issues.
These resources are personally recommended by me, for their educational or therapeutic value. Many are considered "classics" in the field of alcohol/drug abuse counseling. Some are contemporary or classical theoretical or academic books that are usually best utilized by counseling professionals or students. Some are classic and contemporary self-help books and resources meant for the non-professional person seeking help.
The list(s) represent my own personal opinions, tastes, and acquired benefits. I am including an option to purchase these directly from Amazon. Although Amazon is not the only bookseller on the internet, it does have a feature that I really, really like. Once you find the book you want on Amazon, most of the time, you can pull it up, and "search inside this book". You are able to search keywords from the pdf, which gives you clickable page numbers. I like this feature, since you can get a sense of whether the book has what you are looking for. Having the Table of Contents also helps.
Since this is a work in progress, check back often. I'll be adding to the lists of books and other resources as I think about them and conquer the learning curve with the technology. Please have patience with me. If you have a subject that you would like book recommendations for, drop me an email and ask me what to read.
Thanks.
Peggy
