The terms \u201cspiritual experience\u201d and \u201cspiritual awakening\u201d are used many times in this book which, upon careful reading, shows that the personality change sufficient to bring about recovery from alcoholism has manifested itself among us in many different forms.<\/strong>\u00a02<\/sup><\/span>

\nIn this paper, Tiebout is going to look at surrender from a psychiatric point of view. \u00a0He wants to understand what we in AA see as a spiritual transformation in psychological terms. He especially wants to understand what causes an individual to resist the act of surrender. He identifies “defiant individualism” and “grandiosity” as two personality traits in alcoholics that block the act of surrender. He says they flow from the “persisting infantile ego.” We are going to get a first look at what he later calls the “ego factors” that block the surrender he recognizes is essential to recovery. We call it the beginning of a spiritual experience that allows an alcoholic to proceed with the steps. Tiebout sees it as essential before therapy can commence.<\/p>\n
