<p>Â“BELIEVING THAT LIFE SHOULD BE FREE OF ALL DISTRESS IS A NATIONAL HEALTH PROBLEM.Â” Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski, world-renowned spiritual guide and founder of Gateway Rehabilitation Center, one of AmericaÂ’s premier treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction, offers advice and perspective like this throughout this marvelous book. A powerful amalgam of Hasidic rebbe and physician-psychiatrist, Twerski lets us in on what he has learned over the years from plumbers, salmon, Charles Schulz, junkies, alcoholics and psychotics. Sherlock Holmes, his father and mother, prisoners and even the Milwaukee Braves have played important roles in what Dr. Twerski has become and what he has to offer his patients and devotees. In a book which is different from anything he has ever written, Dr. Twerski presents an astonishingly personal, candid and revealing account of his journey from pulpit rabbi to therapist. FROM PULPIT TO COUCH is filled with humor and lightness of spirit and yet is heavy with meaning and inspiration. Twerski offers a truly unique definition of spirituality together with an insightful analysis of addiction and chemical abuse.</p>

Rabbi twerski tells us that early detection can prevent catastrophe, but only if we are willing to face reality. Finally - a book which explains compulsive gambling, tells you how it can be recogniz</p>
