## Description

Narrative Means to Sober Ends: Treating Addiction and Its Aftermath: 9781572308350: Medicine & Health Science Books @ desertcart.com

Review: Awesome information on addiction from a narrative perspective - As a counseling student, I am fascinated by the narrative therapy approach. I think this has to do with my background in English. As such, I grabbed this book because my Addiction's professor required us to read a book on the topic. And Narrative Means to Sober Ends is a downright intriguing read as Diamond writes about addiction from a narrative approach. What makes his book special is that he takes a narrative base and adds ideas from different theories to create his unique therapy. Taking some cues from Epson and White, he encourages his clients to write letters to their addictions. This is something that he finds interesting as it shows the depth of the addiction, how willing the person is to change, and it begins to get the client to think about change. He also encourages clients to attend AA/NA (or another appropriate 12-step meeting) before they use their drug of choice. What could be considered "controversial" is that Diamond tackles mental health issues along with addiction issues. It is a paradigm to solve the addiction first and then mental health issues. This approach seems to work for him and would be considered consistent with a Family Therapy approach. So if you're interested in addiction, narrative therapy, or both topics, then definitely give the book a try. He's written an accessible, knowledgeable and downright intriguing book.
