Beyond Addiction: A Guide for Families is a practical, family-centered resource by Jeffrey Foote, PhD, Carrie Wilkens, PhD, and Nicole Kosanke, PhD. It explores compassionate, evidence-informed ways family members and friends can respond when someone they love is struggling with substance use or other compulsive behaviors.
Rather than focusing on confrontation alone, the book discusses communication, positive reinforcement, motivation, boundaries, and navigating treatment options. It includes examples, guided exercises, and strategies intended to help readers support meaningful change while caring for their own well-being.
This updated edition may be useful for parents, partners, relatives, and friends seeking a thoughtful framework for understanding addiction and strengthening supportive relationships.
