Clinical psychologist Nowinski answers criticism of 12-step programs by demonstrating their effectiveness through well-designed research studies of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). The author analyzes various components of the AA credo, such as attendance at meetings, acceptance of the diagnosis, surrender to a higher power, and involvement in the program. He finds that many of the components of the program: network support and developing one's spirituality, among others, are predictors for healthy recovery. Likewise, abstinence from alcohol, an imperative in AA, correlates neurologically with less depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. VERDICT Particularly helpful for those thinking about joining a 12-step program, wanting to talk intelligently about the resource, or simply seeking to understand why it works.
