The interplay between unhealed trauma, dissociation, and addiction can stump even the most seasoned clinicians and leave clients who struggle feeling frustrated and hopeless. Although the popular 12-step approaches to addiction treatment can be appropriate for clients with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related diagnoses, rigid application of the disease model and 12-step principles may prove more harmful than helpful for clients in need.
Trauma and the 12 Steps (originally published in 2012, with a revised and expanded edition published in 2020) teaches clinicians, professionals, and members of the recovery community that it is possible to bridge the gap in knowledge between traditional, 12-step approaches to working with addiction and advanced, trauma-focused understanding. Earn continuing education credits by reading the new and expanded edition and studying alongside several teaching videos especially curated by book author Dr. Jamie Marich.
