Helping Women Recover: A Program for Treating Addiction
[Covington, S. (1999, rev. 2008 and 2019). Hoboken, NJ: Wiley]
This revised edition of Dr. Covington’s innovative, evidence-based program integrates theories of women’s psychological development, trauma, and addiction to meet the needs of women with addictive disorders. The comprehensive, twenty-session curriculum contains four modules that address the areas that women in treatment identify as triggers for relapse: self, relationships, sexuality and spirituality. They include the issues of self-esteem, sexism, family of origin, relationships, domestic violence, and trauma. The user-friendly and self-instructive materials are a step-by-step facilitator’s guide and a participant’s journal, entitled A Woman’s Journal, that is filled with self-tests, checklists, and exercises to enable each participant to create a personalized guide to recovery.
Some of the new updates to the 3rd edition include:
- Expanded from 17 to 20 sessions
- Trauma-sensitive yoga exercises
- Updated gender information
- Incorporates more mindfulness
- New brain research as it relates to addiction and trauma
- Updated statistics
- Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
- Process of trauma and its effects on the mind and body
Sales of the 2nd edition journals will continue until the publisher runs out of stock. You will need to use the same edition facilitator guide and journals, therefore you may not use the 2nd edition facilitator guide with 3rd edition journals.
