Opplysninger | Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph. - The problem -- The rise of AA -- Does AA work? -- The business of rehab and the broken promise of "AA-plus" -- So, what does work to treat addiction? -- What the addicts say -- Why does AA work when it does? -- The myths of addiction -- The failure of addiction research, and designing the perfect study.. - AA has become so infused in our society that it is practically synonymous with addiction recovery. Yet the evidence shows that AA has only a 5 to 10 percent success rate-- hardly better than no treatment at all. Dodes exposes the deeply flawed science that the 12-step industry has used to support its programs, and explores the entire story of AA's rise, from its origins in early fundamentalist religious and mystical beliefs to its present-day place of privilege in politics and media.
