Relapse Prevention for Addictive Behaviours: A Manual for Therapists

Relapse prevention, although relatively new, is now established as a foremost technique for treating people with addiction problems. Based on the actual experience of the authors in using relapse prevention methods, this book provides working details on the different topics to be covered in each group or individual session. Most addictions from alcohol, drugs and smoking to overeating are covered and the content is, therefore, of relevance to all professionals clinically involved with the treatment of dependency, psychiatrists, nurse therapists and social workers.
