My Recovery: A Personal Plan for Healing Paperback – International Edition, August 31, 2003

If you are stuck and are looking to move on but can't find a starting place- this is your book. Simply written, full of starting points and walks one thru a healing plan that will work for you.

I consider myself a student of Dr. Whitefield, for being brilliant, compassionate, and having extraordinary skill in teaching important clinical concepts to the average person. Non-medical Healing is a very real phenomena, and something we need honest, clear, and truthful guidance on. It can be multi-layered, often seeming mysterious, unreal, or just plain frightening. Dr. Whitfield, in this book, and in all his books, does a superb job in removing the veils of our understanding and perception of our inner world. What most struck me about this book, is not just the awesome, clear, content, but the inviting and convincing manner that the author presents. His book makes you want to recover, heal, and never return to a life of disconnect. Good luck on your personal journey, which isn't easy, but most definitely worth it!-Rivka Edery, M.S.W., L.C.S.W.Author of: "Hear Me Sing: Book I" (2016)“Trauma and Transformation: A 12-Step Guide” (2013)

As a recovering drug addict I really connected well with the book. It was a quick, & easy read. At no point was I overwhelmed with medical jargon that I couldn't understand. Thanks to Dr. Whitfield I now have more insight, & a new found enlightenment about my addiction. My road to recovery now has a clear, full purpose. My Recovery: A Personal Plan For Healing is a game changer!! Be you an addict looking for answers, a loved one concerned with the plight of a struggling addict, or a medical professional looking for a newer, more clear path for your patients. This book IS FOR YOU!!!! Publicly, I thank, & praise Dr. Whitfield, & his wife Barbara for giving people like me a clear, precise road map on my journey for recovery!! My second chance in life is now here!

The author's recovery concept is a good idea. The way he presented it was the worst. The title should have been something like "A Boring Dialogue Between My Wife and Me."

This gave me a clear overview of the steps to my healing and was more complete and authoratative than most books on healing. Understandable to the layperson, and I believe it is must reading for clinicians.

Interesting book with a lot of good information. However the author makes many references to his other books for additional pointers not available in this book. So, in order to completely understand this book, others like the 'child within' should be read beforehand.
