Summary: Denial and Deception
Comment: Denial and Deception is what these 12 Steppers have been doing for years now. They have been denying that they are not a cult like fundamentalist religion and deceiving everyone with their fabrications that they are the only treatment (that works) for addictions and even the made-up co-dependency construct.
Stanton Peele, Charles Bufe, and Archie Brodsky has used real science to show that 12 Stepping is not the only game in town... in truth I think a voodoo witch doctor would have better out-comes with treating addictions than joining a 12-Step cult.
Resisting 12-Step Coercion, presents addiction issues in real psychological light, which shows that they are not victimizing diseases that must be treated for life. There is the ability to recover fully and no need to be in some 12-step recovery room for the rest of your life. The 12-steps have been shown, by this book, to be an almost useless treatment model when coercion is used to rope in clients.
I found book to be well written and professional. I think you will find it eye opening. So open those eyes for it is time for the 12 Step Cult to be ousted from the treatment centers they have commandeered from logical treatment. It is time for real mental health treatment to care for those who need it.
This is an excellent work, which exposes 12-Stepping for what it is: coercion.
Our gullible public needs to stop being so naïve... to that end read this book.
Rick Goodner, Author of "Co-dependent... What a Bore and Other Clinical Observations".

Summary: What is Stanton Peele afraid of?
Comment: I have been a member of 12-Step programs for 20 years. I have been in therapy for 32 years (originally mandated by the court in 1969). I have written a book about addiction myself. People who are mandated to go to 12-Step programs by the courts do not have to stay once their obligation is fulfilled. People who do stay get help. For me the combination of 12-Step programs, therapy and religion has brought me the recovery from addiction that I prayed for before I even knew what praying really meant. Stanton Peele's book is reactionary and uses fear tactics to sell books and inflate the author's ego. I am sad that he chooses to attack programs that have such a wonderful track record. Psychology has been helpful to me over the years, but 12-Step programs (the people, the principles, the literature, and the meetings) have saved my life.

Summary: Re; a major blow to the 12-step leviathan!
Comment: Resisting 12-Step Coercion destroys the flagrant canard that 12-step groups are inherently voluntary. Indeed, authors Chaz Bufe, Stanton Peele, and Archie Brodsky provide ample evidence that each year, over 1,000,000 Americans are compelled to join this crypto-biblical therapeutic cult or face reprisals ranging from extended jail time to unemployment.
In a penetrating analysis of this disconcerting trend, the book questions the legal, medical, and ethical issues which directly undermine this alleged panacea for addiction. And, lest you fall victm to this insidious method of social control, the authors provide invaluable advice for anyone facing the possibility of forced 12-step conscription.
It behooves civil libertarians from across the political spectrum to peruse this important work!
