Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Integral Recovery
John Dupuy · 2013
74/100
👍 Worth It
Dupuy's application of Wilber's Integral framework to addiction recovery is one of the more holistic treatments in the genre, and the award from the USA Best Book Awards reflects genuine professional recognition. Personal vignettes keep the theory grounded, and clinicians and families alike will find the body-mind-spirit framing useful. The main caution is that some content reads as promotional of the author's own programs rather than pure evidence-based guidance.
