Finding Your Best Self, Revised Edition: Recovery from Addiction, Trauma, or Both de Lisa M. Najavits

Finding Your Best Self, Revised Edition: Recovery from Addiction, Trauma, or Both

Autor Lisa M. Najavits
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 iun 2019

În literatura academică și de specialitate, trauma și adicția au fost mult timp tratate ca entități clinice separate, forțând pacienții și terapeuții să navigheze între protocoale terapeutice fragmentate. Finding Your Best Self, Revised Edition vine să completeze această lacună, propunând o abordare integrată ce recunoaște legătura biologică și psihologică profundă dintre cele două condiții. Notăm cu interes că această ediție revizuită nu se limitează la teorie, ci oferă un cadru de lucru structurat în 32 de capitole care ghidează cititorul de la înțelegerea mecanismelor medicale ale suferinței până la tehnici concrete de autoreglare.

Reținem că structura volumului este concepută pentru a fi accesibilă atât persoanelor aflate în recuperare, cât și profesioniștilor. De la capitolul despre biologia corpului până la instrumente practice precum „Tip the Scales recovery plan”, progresia este una de la conștientizare spre acțiune. Cititorii familiarizați cu The Trauma-Informed Workbook for Addiction de Bobbi Jo Reed vor aprecia aici rigoarea academică suplimentară adusă de Lisa M. Najavits, care reușește să mențină un ton empatic fără a sacrifica fundamentul științific.

Această lucrare ocupă un loc central în opera autoarei, servind drept punte între manualul Seeking Safety (care se concentrează pe siguranța în prezent) și Creating Change (care abordează procesarea trecutului). Dacă în lucrările anterioare accentul era pus pe intervenția clinică directă, Finding Your Best Self, Revised Edition pune accentul pe autonomia individului și pe dezvoltarea compasiunii față de sine ca motor al schimbării. Merită menționat că noul format include secțiuni dedicate special consilierilor, facilitând utilizarea cărții în grupuri de suport sau în practica privată.

Recenzii

"This is a terrific book. Lucid and eminently practical, it summarizes what Dr. Najavits has learned helps patients in over three decades of practice and research. Page upon page, she helps you confront what is going on inside of yourself. It’s a step-by-step road to recovery from the enslavement of trauma and addiction. This is the sort of book you put by your bedside to visit over and over again as a guide to dealing with numbing, addiction, the secrets you try to keep from yourself, and underlying issues. I cannot recommend this book highly enough."--Bessel A. van der Kolk, MD, author of The Body Keeps the Score

"In 13 years of recovery in AA, I often heard the refrain 'I never got the instruction manual on life.' Well, this book by Lisa Najavits might just be the only instruction book on recovery you’ll ever need! It shines with a fresh perspective, jargon-free writing, and vivid personal inspiration in an overpopulated field."--Frank F., New York City

"Many times in AA (or 'the rooms'), I have heard someone say, 'It’s the language of the heart; what comes from the heart reaches the heart.' This work exemplifies that thought while also staying true to itself with structure and advice for addicts and trauma survivors. But more than going through the steps of recovery, Dr. Najavits shows how to do so with dignity and pride in what you may accomplish. I never felt alone while reading this book."--David T., Washington, DC

"In this remarkable book, Dr. Najavits speaks to diverse audiences in a way that is clear, practical, and deeply engaging. She offers an unflinching look at the challenges of working on trauma and addiction, while always conveying a message of hope. People struggling with either or both issues will find a path to improve their life. Professionals too can use this as a companion to therapy, allowing patients to extend their efforts through a flexible but carefully structured process."--Joan E. Zweben, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Francisco; staff psychologist, San Francisco VA Medical Center

"A welcome contribution. Dr. Najavits provides a comprehensive framework for recovery. She has woven her extensive clinical experience with the voices of people in recovery to create a rich resource."--Stephanie S. Covington, PhD, LCSW, author of A Woman's Way through the Twelve Steps
