Charlotte Kasl
Charlotte Sophia Kasl, PhD is an American psychologist and author known for her work in addiction recovery and relationship counseling.
She developed the 16-Steps for Discovery and Empowerment as an alternative to traditional 12-step programs.
Kasl's writing incorporates elements from various spiritual traditions, including Sufism, Quakerism, and Buddhism.
Her books often blend psychological insights with spiritual concepts, addressing topics such as addiction, relationships, and personal growth.
While some readers appreciate her holistic approach, others criticize her inclusion of new age ideas and pseudo-scientific concepts.
Kasl's work has influenced many in the fields of psychology and self-help, though it remains controversial among more traditionally-minded practitioners.
