A Woman's Way Through the Twelve Steps

By Stephanie S. Covington, Ph.D., L.C.S.W.

This book brings a feminine perspective to the Twelve Step program, searching out the healing messages beneath the male-oriented words.

This new perspective takes into account the psychological development of women as it relates to addiction and recovery, as well as the social and cultural factors that affect women in particular.

The author explores the Twelve Steps one by one, reiterating each in its traditional language, then explaining and illustrating it in a way that highlights a woman's experience, empowering the reader to take ownership of her own recovery process as well as her growth as a woman.
