Psychiatrist, Interventionist, Author
Constant Mouton
Dr. Constant Mouton is a psychiatrist, therapist, family interventionist, and author. He founded Mouton Mental Health, a private mental health practice in The Netherlands. He also serves as a consultant psychiatrist at a prominent Recovery Centre and is the director and senior trainer at ARISE® Consulting, Europe.
Trained as a (neuro)psychiatrist in South Africa, Dr. Mouton’s work is uniquely rooted in cross-cultural understanding. He harnesses the families’ strengths, cultural heritage, religion, and spiritual beliefs to comprehensively understand and treat the individual and the family. The Southern African philosophy of Ubuntu, “I am because we are,” permeates his work as he strives to restore the connectedness within the individual and the group.
In his original book, The Roadmap to Family Recovery, published in 2024, Dr Mouton guides families on a transformative journey towards recovery. His work instils hope and helps families access resilience in their loved ones, themselves, and their families. He firmly believes that recovery should be accessible for the entire family, as collateral recovery notably enhances the well-being of individuals, families, and communities.
This book is what has been missing in the field of addiction. It covers what addiction books do not cover and honestly it was refreshing to read. Constant is not trying to convince you of anything (like I feel most books on the topic do), he’s educating the reader and offers a compassionate voice to help you. I also loved the exercises provided and the help offered to professionals. I will be using his tools in clinical practice and involving the family a lot more often. I could not recommend it more to absolutely everyone. There is no way it can’t help you in one way or another.

I loved this book! It reminded me to be compassionate with my daughter’s recovery process. Her addiction had a profound impact on our family dynamic AND my own mental and physical health. It also taught me how to look after myself and find my own path to recovery.
I loved the exercises throughout the book. It really is like a complete family program in a book.
– Dora, Mother
Recovering from addiction was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. My family never participated in any of my therapies, and I found that they missed essential knowledge about recovery. I gifted this book to my parents and brother to help them understand the “new” me in recovery. This book helped them to support me and help themselves in what is now our family’s joint path through recovery.
