Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Essential Addiction Recovery Companion
Richard A. Singer · 2018
64/100
👎 Skip It
Singer brings real clinical credentials and a compassionate holistic frame to a workbook that genuinely serves people in recovery, and the reflective-question format is well-suited to the audience. At 124 pages with no major critical review trail, however, the depth is limited and readers in serious need of support deserve tools that have been more rigorously vetted. A decent supplement to treatment, but not a first recommendation.
