Reoccurrence or relapse happens with almost all types of behavior change--and too often is stigmatized. This compelling work from leading experts provides a fresh perspective on the function of failure in a person's journey through the stages of change. Whether in addiction treatment or other health care contexts, setbacks can help clinicians and clients identify what went wrong and adapt their approaches. The book examines the critical tasks of each of the pre-action and action stages of change and highlights key processes needed to move through them. It provides a vital multidimensional blueprint for using failure to make subsequent change efforts more effective.
