Dr. Stephanie Covington's curricula have been widely praised by mental health professionals, treatment center administrators, and researchers. Effective, practical, and theoretically based, these curricula are equally appropriate for the novice counselor or the seasoned professional.

Beyond Trauma: A Healing Journey for Women

"This beautiful and sensitive work will go a long way to help women struggling with trauma and addiction. There's a strong need to integrate treatment for these issues, which co-occur tragically for so many. Dr. Covington's approach attends to key themes, including power, violence, self-soothing, response to trauma, the mind-body connection, and feelings. Women who receive this treatment, and the clinicians who work with them, will likely find it a life-changing experience that can open a new path. Dr. Covington's extraordinary compassion and support are a gift."

VOICES: A Program of Self-Discovery and Empowerment for Girls

"Voices" continues the Covington tradition in providing cutting edge treatment for girls and young women, one of our most neglected treatment populations. With an emphasis on the developing self, "Voices" guides the group through an understanding of the developing self and the centrality of connection to the lives of girls and young women.

Dr. Covington skillfully combines the best theoretical research with a hands-on approach that builds the group process and creates an arena of both safety and celebration for the participants. In tying feelings to journaling and subsequent behaviors, this approach shows how past experience and present circumstances can be used therapeutically to build a hopeful future.

By targeting the pathways to female drug use, and pushing forward the key concept of gender-responsiveness, "Voices," makes yet another valuable contribution to the treatment world."
