Father Bill continues a series centered on Dr. Harry Tiebout, the first psychiatrist to recognize why AA worked while so many other methods (including his own) had failed. Tiebout also treated Bill Wilson for his depression and later served as an AA Trustee. The series uses Hazelden’s book: Harry Tiebout: The Collected Writings as a source and, where available, adds pdf articles in the Show Notes. In this episode Fr. Bill explores Tiebout’s classic article: Surrender vs Compliance. Tiebout believes compliance gets in the way of surrender but Fr. Bill isn’t so sure. See what you think. A free pdf version of Tiebout’s article is available in the show notes.
