MAAEZ - Making Alcoholics Anonymous Easier
Dr. Lee Kaskutas
The goal of the “Making Alcoholics Anonymous Easier/MAAEZ” study was to
develop an evidence-based intervention to prepare clients to engage in the
culture of 12-step addiction groups. The session guidelines in the free MAAEZ
manual focus on making it easier for clients to connect with AA members and
helping clients fulfill a purposeful helping role early on.
Dr. Kaskutas is a retired Senior Scientist at the Public Health Institute and a former Adjunct
Associate Professor in the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. She has authored over 100
