A 12 step theory for general well-being

The following project is an exploration of the psychological components of the 12 Step Program designed in 1939 by Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith to aid in the recovery of suffering alcoholics by taking a spiritual approach to life's difficulties. When examined closely, the original 12 Steps contained in the program for alcoholics embody key aspects of logotherapy, analytical psychology, and positive psychology. The purpose of this project is to propose a new theory for the field of psychology currently titled The 12 Step Theory for General Well-Being, which incorporates an application of the 12 Step Program to aid in the recovery from symptoms such as depression and anxiety. The philosophy behind the new theory for the mental health is to provide a therapeutic process with basis of healing through a spiritual connection to the field of mental health.
