Overview

Esta obra se centra en el proceso de recuperacin de las personas adictas, desde el enfoque Gestalt, a travs del modelo de automodulacin. Describe la adiccin buscando las races de la recuperacin, ms all de la sobriedad. Esta apuesta es una alternativa a los modelos tradicionales que solo se enfocan en el dejar de consumir. Michael Craig Clemmens, desde su experiencia personal y profesional, identifica a la persona adicta como un cliente que necesita trabajar sus conflictos particulares, no los ""problemas de los adictos"". El autor sostiene que la labor del terapeuta consiste en explorar el poder de atraccin que ejerce la intoxicacin en el cliente, a travs del darse cuenta; no como un asunto de conducta incorrecta vs correcta, sino como un patrn que tuvo cierta funcionalidad para el adicto. Clemmens tambin resalta la importancia de generar en terapia un campo relacional desde una perspectiva compasiva y prctica: compasiva, al valorar la experiencia del adicto, su historia familiar y su dolor, a menudo negado; prctica, al enfocarse en el impacto que tiene el consumo de drogas en la persona, y en los dems, es decir, lo que sucede. This book focuses on the road to recovery for those struggling with addiction. It starts with the Gestalt method and also uses the self-modulation approach. It describes addiction and aims to identify the root causes of it. Understanding the cause of addiction can lead to a recovery that goes beyond sobriety. This offers alternative methods, as opposed to prior approaches based on ceasing the ingestion of a substance. Michael Craig Clemmens brings his personal and professional experiences to the table and identifies addicts as those that need help working on their inner conflicts. He doesn't focus on ""the problems of addicts"". The author explores the lure that leads people to intoxicate themselves. Clemmens doesn't paint a black and white picture of correct vs. incorrect behavior; rather, he focuses on patterns that affects people with addictions. Clemmens also highlights the importance of creating therapeutic methods that are practical and compassionate. It is important to validate an addict's experience, family history, angst, and often the denial of it all. It's essential to focus on the impact the drugs can have on a person.
