Description
Book SynopsisTreating individuals with a substance misuse problem can be challenging, especially if clients present with multiple problems related to the main addiction. Clinicians can feel at a loss as to where to begin, or revert to an attempt to treat underlying problems - ignoring damaging aspects of the substance misuse itself.
Trade Review"The manual provides comprehensive information regarding CBT approaches to substance use … .One of its strengths is that the authors propose that their model and techniques can be transferred to all substances." (
Drug and Alcohol Review, January 2009)
"This book is likely to be a well-used resource for clinicians to establish individualized CBT treatments for all types of addiction." (Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy, July 2008)
"I cannot praise this book highly enough. I would think that anyone at whatever level of experience will gain something from the book." (Clinical Psychology Forum)
"A comprehensive manual … It provides clear guidelines and information in relation to addiction and CBT and is both useful and informative." (Journal of Analytical Psychology)
