"AVRT: The Book Course" in Part II, in the chapters aptly titled
"An Adjustment of Attitude" and
"The Recovery Hall of Mirrors: Let's Shatter the Illusions." Part III, after the main book course, is mostly a call for reform, which may or may not interest people who just want to work on their own addiction.
I suppose that if someone had never been exposed to addiction treatment or recovery groups before, they would be able to skip over all that. Most of the people who end up at RR
have had extensive exposure to one or both before, though, and didn't fare too well. So, even though those who haven't been through it won't quite understand, he kind of has to address that.
