Synopsis
A New Connection is about helping people solve alcohol and chemical dependency problems. It is not a "true believer" book, offering an easy answer or magical cure, but a practical guide to developing effective strategies with people involved in destructive substance abuse. It offers winning suggestions in the midst of our current "unwinnable" war against drugs. People who have chemical dependency problems are seen not as a type, but as individuals in particular families who need specific and unique problem-solving approaches, developed from what they themselves bring to the therapeutic setting. Among other things, the book describes how counselors and therapists can create a climate of trust and rapport, in which a troubled person will feel free to examine her/his life situation and make appropriate plans for change.
