Praise for Helping Women Recover, Third Edition

"Helping Women Recover is a groundbreaking resource. It is an invaluable compendium of the research on women and addiction, synthesizing a great deal of information into a theoretical framework to guide effective work with women involved in the criminal justice system. My colleagues and I have relied on Dr. Covington's work to lead the way from my days as executive director of the Women's Prison Association to my current role as director of the John Jay College Prisoner Reentry Institute."

--Ann Jacobs, Director, Prisoner Reentry Institute, John Jay College of Criminal Justice

"Helping Women Recover, 3rd Edition is an ideal curriculum for facilitators, who will appreciate the comprehensive approach, the clear explanation of goals and elements of each module and session, and the specific direction and guidance for supporting individual women in each group. Dr. Covington has further developed an ideal tool for educating and supporting women."

--Georgia Lerner, Executive Director, Women's Prison Association, New York

"With this latest edition, Stephanie Covington offers facilitators an updated account of the substance abuse research and literature which form a solid foundation for this holistic approach. Additionally, a growing body of research shows favorable outcomes for participants. Helping Women Recover has enjoyed an excellent reputation in the field of corrections. It is difficult to see how the curriculum could be improved, but the latest edition does just that."

--Patricia Van Voorhis, Ph.D., Professor Emerita, University of Cincinnati

"This new, twenty-session edition of Helping Women Recover is incredibly thorough. It has up-to-date statistics, trauma-sensitive yoga exercises, a discussion of the complex topic of gender fluidity, and new brain research that relates to addiction and trauma. This is a wonderfully comprehensive, easy to follow, informative work."

--Lady Edwina Grosvenor, Prison Philanthropist, Founder of One Small Thing, United Kingdom
