Extremely helpful book by serene reader (Cobb, CA USA)  5 Stars
September 12, 2009
I have two alcoholics in my family and this book had much helpful information about how to be helpful to them. There is specific information about signs to look for in alcoholism, how the disease progresses and how family members are affected. It is brief and clearly written. There are also resources for additional support if you are going through this process.

Insightful and helpful by Rita Kennedy 5 Stars
January 07, 2009
The book "Intervention" is excellent. In the first part of the book the progression of addiction is explained in detail, and how and why it is so diffucult for an addict to stop using. In addition it explains in detail the things that relatives and friends of addicts do to enable the addict, thus preventing him from reaching the decision to stop using.
In the second part it explains how the addict does not have to necessarily reach a 'bottom' before deciding to seek help, and how a loving intervention on the part of friends and family of an alcoholic can convince the addict to seek recovery. An intervention is like a mirror that is lovingly placed in front of the addict to help her see herself with the eyes of the loved ones and of the reality of her situation. The book explains how to do an intervention, either by yourselves or with the help of a professional interventionist. I love this book, and we are going to organize an intervention ourselves in behalf of my daughter. Here is another useful book on this subject:

Intervention by Charles Bartlett (southern California) 5 Stars
September 29, 2008
This book is short, concise and to the point. Anyone interested in the process of intervention; especially those who do not want it, will greatly appreciate this book. Full of great wisdom and gives hope to those who feel no hope in trying to help those who are suffering from addiction.

October 25, 2007
A must read for anyone who has someone in their life that has the disease of addiction. There is not a lot that can be done to stop someone on their destructive path but a well run and meaningful intervention can be very powerful. It can help them on the path to see reality and take the first step to recovery.

Was hoping for better by Deborah G. Green  3 Stars
August 23, 2007
I was looking for a book that would help with a family intervention for health issues. I found this book some what helpful; it did outline the mechanics of the process in the second half of the book. The first half was primarily about the psychology of a substance abuser.
