Why Alcoholics Relapse by J Guenther, MS

Compassionate, conversational, and potentially life-saving in its simplicity, Why Alcoholics Relapse: The Guardienne Concept by J Guenther, MS is an innovative investigation into one of the world’s most common addictions. Centering on the concept of the “Guardienne” – an intuitive part of our mind that works to reduce harm to ourselves and those around us – this eye-opening read is a mix of theoretical, anatomical, psychological, and experiential insight regarding the cycle of addiction. While the author’s bold proposals may raise some skeptical eyebrows, the book covers vital topics of consciousness, behavior, and recovery that are not widely discussed, from Stockholm syndrome and déjà-vu to mental map-making and the building blocks of human nature, for a wide-ranging treatise that could change how people think about alcohol dependency and the frequency of relapse.
