Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book presents a new approach to therapy with problem drinkers that focuses not on the past or the present but on the "future", not on problems but on "solutions". The authors ask readers to imagine that a miracle took place while they were asleep and their problem was instantly solved. What, ask the authors, would be the first thing the next morning that indicated that a miracle had taken place and their problem was solved? From that "first thing", the authors help readers to imagine a future when drinking is not a problem and to specify small, concrete, obtainable goals that will make that future a reality. The individual learns to recognize exceptions (times when drinking is not a problem), catch himself "doing things right", handle setbacks and revise the "miracle picture" when things are not working. "The Miracle Method" is a radically new approach to problem drinking.
