Bamber-White Dialogue II: Inside the Recovery Revolution

by Stephen on October 5, 2011

It is my great pleasure to present the second in the series of Dialogues between William White and myself .

Bamber-White Dialogue II: Inside the Recovery Revolution is a candid and comprehensive appraisal of recovery advocacy and scrutinises the plethora of issues that arise when recovery makes the transition from the margins of the drug and alcohol treatment industry to being a stand-alone grass-roots movement with power, influence and accountability. Amongst other things we discuss ethics, leadership issues, transition and growth, sources of conflict, image management, responsibilities and recovery advocacy organsiations’ relationship with government.

This is a must-read piece for anyone involved or who aspires to be involved in the UK’s own recovery revolution, particularly those who are taking on roles and responsibilities at the dynamic interface between new recovery advocacy organisations and contemporary drug and alcohol treatment.

The Dialogue can be viewed and downloaded in PDF format here.

It can also be accessed from William White’s website – Selected Papers of William White.
