Applied Cognitive and Behavioural Approaches to the Treatment of Addiction
A Practical Treatment Guide
'All professionals who work in mental health services encounter people with substance use problems. Very often they feel ill-equipped to help. This is a lively and accessible book, written within a CBT framework, and based on the authors’ wealth of experience of working with drug and alcohol problems. It provides new ways of thinking about these problems and, crucially, offers clear and structured guidance on what to do to help – an inspiring and invaluable resource.'

“In conclusion, this is a ground-breaking book that provides a comprehensive overview of the use of CBT with clients with addiction difficulties. It would be a useful guide for clinicians of varied experience looking to provide a first-rate CBT treatment for clients with addiction difficulties.” (Journal of Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy, 2012) "A particuular strength of the book is the easily palatable and tasty mix of theory and practice; this is the result of a joing production by six psychologists with over 60 years' combined experience of working with people addicted to substances." (The Psychiatrist, 1 April 2011)
