Finishing Strong

Finishing Strong:

Treating Chemical Addictions with Music and Imagery

Ruth Skaggs has written this book based on her experience in leading groups of alcoholics and drug addicts in an inner-city treatment center in Atlanta, Georgia.

A trained musician and psychotherapist, the author combined music and psychotherapy techniques in an innovative, highly effective method that complements traditional approaches to recovery. The book moves from theories of addiction to a description of the method used, practical applications and stories from treatment sessions.
