Statements by Top Doctors

"In 'Recover With Me,' Lynn Kesselman enabled us to integrate the 12 steps by thoroughly understanding them and not just to comply with them. In 'Five Gates, The Science of Healing the Spirit,' he shows us how to achieve our emotional healing by fulfilling the needs of the human spirit. Five Gates provides a methodology whereby a person can become whole; the Five Gates are the Gates to happiness."
Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D., Psychiatrist
Renowned Addictions Specialist, Author & Lecturer

"Five Gates uniquely defines spirituality and alters our thoughts, emotions, psychology and mental health by directing us to a clearer understanding of how these connections work. Gate by Gate one progresses from illness, confusion and fear to clarity and hopefulness; from poor health to wellness; from slavery to freedom. More than a post-graduate course in the 12 steps, it is 'autopsychoanalysis.'"
Max A. Schneider, M.D. FASMA
Former President, American Society for Addiction Medicine

"Lynn's thorough and intimate presentation of the psychological workings of addiction is excellent and his Gates (steps) are powerful transformational tools for recovery. We will eventually combine our growing understanding of the physical aspects of addiction with programs like the Five Gates to create new more powerful treatment modalities. Lynn's work is inspired and brilliant."
Jokichi "Joe" Takamine, M.D.
Former President, American Society for Addiction Medicine

"Lynn's 12 step book 'Recover with Me' was like finding treasure; it is better than the best materials of Hazeldon and all the others we could find.. 'Five Gates' picks up where 'Recover With Me' left off by providing us with a clear self-help method for healing our spirits. We plan to continue to use Lynn's tools for helping our inmates not only recover but become able to live happy and useful lives."
