Sarina Wheatman Libri

Attingendo a una carriera trentennale come terapeuta delle dipendenze nel Regno Unito, in Olanda e a Jersey, questa autrice porta una vasta esperienza pratica nella sua scrittura. Avendo raggiunto lei stessa una prolungata sobrietà attraverso i metodi che sostiene, mira a 'cambiare le percezioni un libro alla volta'. Il suo lavoro nasce da un profondo stupore per quanto poco venga compresa la dipendenza, in particolare lo stigma sociale che impedisce alle persone di cercare aiuto. Si impegna a contribuire a modificare le sinistre statistiche di morte correlate alla dipendenza, considerandola una catastrofe per la salute mentale che necessita di un cambio di immagine.
