Review: Holmes's Complete Guide To Stop Drinking Alcohol; The Easy, Mindful and Pain-free Way

Holmes's Complete Guide To Stop Drinking Alcohol; The Easy, Mindful and Pain-free Way by Mark Holmes
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Alcohol is a subject that interests me a lot because I work in a therapeutic community for alcoholics and I am always particularly impressed by the damage that this disease can inflict, and I'm not just talking about the physical level, but especially the mental, psychological and relational level.
I found this book very well organized, but definitely its target is the still conscious drinker, who is lucidly realizing or has realized that he has to drastically reduce his alcohol consumption.
In fact, cognitive techniques foresee that the brain is still functioning at full speed, so let's just say that for my patients, it would not be good anymore.

L'alcool é un tema che mi interessa molto perché io lavoro in una comunitá terapeutica per alcolisti e rimango sempre particolarmente impressionata dai danni che questa malattia puó infliggere, e non parlo soltanto a livello fisico, ma soprattutto a livello mentale, psicologico e relazionale.
Ho trovato questo libro molto ben organizzato, ma decisamente il suo target é il bevitore ancora lucido, e che lucidamente sta realizzando o ha realizzato che deve abbassare drasticamente il suo consumo di alcool.
Le tecniche cognitive prevedono infatti che il cervello funzioni ancora a pieni giri, quindi diciamo pure che per i miei di pazienti, non andrebbe piú bene.

I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.
