METAPHORS OF TRANSFORMATION: FEMININE & MASCULINE  

R. A. Chaney & W. L. White

A provocative and stimulating work, this special report takes an in-depth look at the differences in ideas and experiences men and women utilize to initiate and sustain addiction recovery. Based on the belief that models of treatment and recovery based on the experiences of men must be fundamentally redesigned to meet the needs of women, this monograph incorporates a sweeping review of current literature on the subject and compares male-based and female-based recovery models.
