متن يادداشت

This dissertation consists of a manuscript intended for publishing and an accompanying Contextual Paper dealing the scholarly issues involved therein. The work explores the spiritual principles, both Eastern and Western, that inform the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and all Twelve Step organizations which have adopted these Steps. In addition, the common psychological principles embodied in each Step are explicated. The manuscript is aimed at members of clergy and the helping professions. It is also aimed at individuals with some intellectual propensity looking to use the Twelve Steps as a solution to whatever problem they may be facing or, perhaps, individuals looking to re-do the Steps at a deeper level. Practical exercises are provided. The accompanying Contextual Paper discusses the method of research used and explores the pros and cons of such research. It also deals with the professional philosophical issues in the Steps. In addition, the Contextual Paper describes the literature relating to this subject and where this work adds some original contribution. An extensive appendix deals with the spiritual and sociological principles involved in the Twelve Traditions of most Twelve Step organizations.
