Treating Individuals with Addictive Disorders

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book offers an excellent combination of hope and inspiration, useful factual information, and actual skill instruction and the language needed to achieve and maintain recovery. There is also valuable attention to managing interpersonal problems and to the use of cultural strengths and spiritual-religious resources. I expect that both therapists and their clients/patients will want to have a copy for their frequent reference. Strongly recommended!"

"This is a valuable workbook that provides concrete explanations and recommendations for people who struggle with addictive behaviors. Dr. Meichenbaum has vast experience in the field of mental health and is considered a world-renowned expert. He certainly understands that the skills needed for overcoming addictions go well beyond 'Just say no.' He focuses on cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, general coping, and life skills in accessible, conversational ways-and his vivid case examples ("Recovery Voices") are particularly helpful. I highly recommend this workbook to anyone seeking relief from addictive behaviors, as well as those professionals who help people with addictions."

"Don Meichenbaum is not only one of the foremost psychotherapy scholars of our lifetime; in keeping with his book's theme, he is an excellent 'storyteller.' This patient workbook provides a wealth of practical, user-friendly, and evidence-informed coping tools that addicted individuals can use in their journey of recovery. Meichenbaum's workbook is a refreshing new approach to treating addiction, and an antidote to the ever-present hype in the addiction field. Highly recommended!"
