Review Quote "Getting Beyond Sobriety provides an in-depth view of the treatment of the alcoholic with particular reference to issues associate with long-term recovery. Clemmons provides a clear model of a gestalt approach to alcoholism treatment and in the process helps to define the differences and perhaps limits of the medical model of the addictions. The author clearly delineates a developmental approach that emphasizes stages in the recovery process...reminiscent of the interpersonal dynamics elucidated by theorists such as Leston Havens. A lucid explication of the dynamics of alcoholics and other drug addicts, their life situations, and their treatment needs. The material is clear and free of rhetorical flourish, and it provides the therapist with a perspective that is sure to stimulate new thinking. Thanks to the liberal use of vignettes, the reader comes away with a more complete understanding of recovery." (Psychiatric Services)"Behavioral and emotional aspects are deeply explored, and therapeutic strategies are abundantly illustrated with clinical examples that make interesting reading. This book is an excellent source of information for professionals working with addicted patients."
