To truly heal is to "make whole" on all levels, in contrast to "treating" which is limited and short-sighted, as Hawkins has emphasized in his best-selling series of books on human consciousness. These holistic lectures were first presented to a variety of recovery organizations and clinicians from diverse backgrounds. The emphasis is on recovery in its fullest sense - mental, physical, psychological and spiritual. Hawkins draws from a diverse clinical background of over 50 years as a leader in the field.
