Description
Alcoholics Anonymous: Cult or Cure? by Charles Bufe provides a detailed examination of the origins and influence of Alcoholics Anonymous, tracing its roots to the Oxford Group Movement. This well-researched book explores the similarities and differences between AA's program and those found in religious cults, as well as its remarkable ineffectiveness and impact on the treatment industry.
The second edition includes a new chapter on AA's relationship with the media, offering a nuanced understanding of this influential organisation. By examining the facts behind AA's history and influence, Bufe sheds light on alternative approaches to recovery and addiction treatment.
