The Journal of Groups in Addiction & Recovery
The Journal of Groups in Addiction & Recovery is offering a special issue - "Broadening the Base of Addiction Mutual Support: Bringing Theory and Science to Contemporary Trends", that reviews the history of mutual-support groups for addiction that have arisen as adjuncts or alternatives to Twelve Step Programs. Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey D. Roth, MD, with Guest Editors William L. White, MA, and John F. Kelly, PhD, bring together research on new recovery groups arising in the form of institutions, ministries, community centers, special interest clubs, arts organizations, family groups, and more. Articles examine both secular groups, such as Secular Organization for Sobriety, SMART Recovery, and Women for Sobriety, and faith-based groups like Celebrate Recovery. Contributions come from leading researchers and practitioners in the field, including Walter Ginter, winner of the 2012 Vernon Johnson Award, presented by Faces & Voices of Recovery.
