520    "Show me a drunk and I'll show you someone in search of 
       God", is a saying that could be derived from Carl Jung. 
       Jung wrote to Bill Wilson, founder of Alcoholics Anonymous
       (A.A.), about his understanding of Rowland Hazard's 
       alcoholism: "His craving for alcohol was the equivalent, 
       on a low level, of the spiritual thirst of our being for 
       wholeness, expressed in medieval language: the union with 
       God". .The author visited the archives of the headquarters
       of A.A. in New York, and discovered new communications 
       between Carl Jung and Bill Wilson. For the first time this
       correspondence shows Jung's respect for A.A. and in turn, 
       its influence on him. In particular, this research shows 
       how Bill Wilson was encouraged by Jung's writings to 
       promote the spiritual aspect of recovery as opposed to the
       conventional medical model which has failed so 
       abysmally.The book overturns the long-held belief that 
       Jung distrusted groups. Indeed, influenced by A.A.'s 
       success, Jung gave "complete and detailed instructions" on
       how the A.A. group format could be developed further and 
       used by "general neurotics".Wilson was an advocate of 
       treating some alcoholics with LSD in order to deflate the 
       ego and induce a spiritual experience. He wrote to Jung 
       for his comments on this controversial idea. Jung was 
       stridently opposed to "short cuts", to transcendent 
       experiences; however he died before he could reply to 
       Wilson's comprehensive letter.The author explains how 
       alcoholism can be diagnosed and understood by 
       professionals and the lay person; by examining the 
       detailed case histories of Jung, the author gives graphic 
       examples of its psychological and behavioural 
       manifestations.By combining the narratives of recovering 
       alcoholics with a Jungian perspective, the author explains
       how the program of the 12 steps can lead to a journey of 
       spiritual awakening or in Jungian terms, individuation. 
520 8  This book explains in plain words the language of A.A. and
       takes the reader inside a meeting to show how it works in 
       practice.The final chapter deals with the criticism that 
       both organisations have "cultish" aspects.
