This Monday I am so pleased to share the groundbreaking work of Dr Constance Scharaff. Constance Scharff has a Ph.D. in Transformative Studies, specializing in addiction recovery. She is the Addiction Researcher and Transformative Studies Scholar at Cliffside Malibu Treatment Center, a researcher with the Institute for Creative Transformation, and the world’s leading expert on using ecstatic spiritual experience to maintain long-term sobriety. Co-author of Ending Addiction for Good with Richard Taite, her analysis of integrated, holistic addiction recovery methods is being heralded as “groundbreaking” and “life saving.” Dr. Scharff writes for a variety of journals and speaks to healing professionals on helping addicts in recovery maintain their sobriety. She has also traveled extensively in Asia, Africa, and North America, learning how to help individuals evoke life-transforming spiritual experiences and use those experiences to heal addictions and trauma.
In Ending Addiction for Good, Dr. Scharff champions the Stages of Change model developed in the 1990s, as well as the neurobiology of attachment. She is a proponent of using acupuncture to treat addiction and has spoken at conferences on such topics as addiction as it relates to shen disturbance. She also is a teacher with the Institute for Creative Transformation and the world’s leading expert on using the ecstatic spiritual experience to maintain long-term sobriety.
Dr. Scharff has two book signing events coming up in Austin:
- Bookwoman November 11, 2012 from 3-5 pm.
- Dr. Scharff will also be giving a presentation at AOMA's south campus on December 4, 2012 from 12:45 -1:45 pm.
