[New York Psychosynthesis Institute, Huntington, NY]. “Spirituality and the health professional.”
Substance Use & Misuse 48, no. 12 (Sep 2013): 1174-1179. [Abstract:] The inclusion of spirituality in addictions recovery began with the 12-steps program of Alcoholics Anonymous. Cofo unded by Bill Wilson, the 12-steps’ spiritual orientation is based on Wilson’s own recovery from alcoholism that was associated with a spiritual experience. His correspondence with Carl Jung, who verified the importance of Wils on’s experience, empowered Wilson to make spirituality central to the 12 steps. Spirituality remains a source of misunderstanding between the scientific, empiri cally informed mental health community, and the 12- step recovery movement. This article offers an outline of spiritual development, based on neuroscience, which the professional
can utilize in the spiritual aspect of a patient’s recovery.
