Description: This vintage hardcover book titled "Selections from Dr. Low's Works (1950-1953) Recovery" is a true gem for collectors and enthusiasts of recovery addiction literature in cognitive behavioral work. Published in 1966 by Recovery, Inc. in Chicago, Illinois, this original edition features a compilation of writings by Abraham A. Low, a renowned psychiatrist and founder of the Recovery Movement. The book contains valuable insights and practical techniques aimed at helping individuals overcome various mental health challenges and is in very nice condition! As an antiquarian and collectible item, this rare find is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of recovery addiction and Dr. Low's pioneering work. This is a good introduction to the works of Dr. Abraham A. Low, founder of Recovery International. The articles and comments in this book were written by Dr. Low for the Recovery News, which was published every two months by Recovery, Inc. during the years 1950-1953. Recovery, Inc., now known as Recovery International, came into existence as a result of many years of research and study. From 1931 to 1940, Dr. Low was the Associate Director, and in 1940-1941, the Acting Director of the Psychiatric Institute of the University of Illinois. During these same years, he was assistant alienist for the State of Illinois and Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Illinois Medical School. In these various capacities, he saw and treated thousands of nervous and mental patients. As a result of his experience, he founded Recovery in 1937 for the purpose of preventing relapses in former mental patients and chronicity in nervous patients. Dr. Low's writings and tools are now recognized as groundbreaking cognitive-behavioral work. Since Dr. Low's death in 1954 Recovery International has been operated, managed, and supported by former patients trained in the Recovery Method. Recovery operates more than 500 peer-led support group meetings each week throughout the country and abroad and has helped hundreds of thousands of people lead more peaceful and productive lives. The mission of Recovery International is to provide tools to help people achieve better mental health. Here is just one review I found about this book: "This silm but powerful book has oodles of insightful gems of practical, mental health information that will keep your intellect and spirit running smoothly for years to come. The one text (1966) combines a former publication in two volumes. What you'll also find here are startling insights into becoming a relaxed average individual who is in control of himself and his surroundings. This book is a fine complement to the set of books by Low, published by Recovery, Inc. Get it and enjoy the experience of lavishing your life with solid practical insights. Purchase with confidence!
