Summary: Great "depth"
Comment: This is an excellent book for helping professionals of all stripes, as well as relatives of those in the throes of addiction. This would make a great text for addiction counselor training courses.

I work with a Native American Tribe, as a drug and alcohol program coordinator, in the Phoenix Metro Area. I found this book to offer some insight into the ritualistic use of chemicals, as well as the spiritual deficits spin on addiction.

Our Native populations are so disenfranchised from the main stream; having had their cultural practices so drastically altered, and carrying such heavy intergenerational trauma, that it is no wonder chemical addiction is rampant.

If the Indigenous people want to break the pattern of addiction, then the return to ritual and initiation ceremony of pre-contact culture may offer some hope.
