(2016) Logotherapy and existential analysis, Dordrecht, Springer.
This is a collection of about 45 stories on 250 pages, each by a person describing how alcohol abuse has affected their lives. They are from a variety of perspectives: drinkers, spouses, parents, and children of drinkers; while most contributors are white, some of them belong to minority groups, although none of them gay or lesbian. Some declare religious faith, while others do not. The majority are sympathetic to the idea that alcoholism is a disease and that Alcoholics Anonymous is a good approach to dealing with alcohol problems, but not all of them are. The goal of the book is to provide stories that will help others with similar problems.
