Product Description

Review

"More than two decades ago, Marlatt offered a way to analyze and prevent relapse that was one of those seminal insights that changed the field of addiction science forever. In the second edition of this influential work, Marlatt and Donovan provide an updated reconceptualization of the relapse process that incorporates cutting-edge research on craving, expectancies, contingencies, and self-regulation. Top scientist-practitioners offer a panoramic view of relapse prevention across the most extensive range of behaviors addressed in one place."  - Carlo C. DiClemente, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Maryland–Baltimore County, USA

"Each chapter provides an overview of the management and prevention of relapse for specific problem areas. This book is absolutely essential for anyone working in the addictions field." - Linda Carter Sobell, PhD, Center for Psychological Studies, Nova Southeastern University, USA

"Clinicians, educators, and researchers should read - and reread - this book. It can be used as a primary text in graduate-level courses on addictive behavior." - Meredith Hanson, DSW, Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service, USA

Product Description

This important work elucidates why relapse is so common for people recovering from addictive behavior problems - and what can be done to keep treatment on track. It provides an empirically supported framework for helping people with addictive behavior problems develop the skills to maintain their treatment goals, even in high-risk situations, and deal effectively with setbacks that occur. The expert contributors clearly identify the obstacles that arise in treating specific problem behaviors, review the factors that may trigger relapse at different stages of recovery, and present procedures for teaching effective cognitive and behavioral coping strategies.

Empirical Study of Relapse 28 Mar 2008
By Dr. Dom Wilks - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Book is a good reference for literature review on relapse prevention.
Book offers little help in designing a relapse prevention program for patients.

A classic 21 Nov 2007
By A. Park - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I am compelled to write this because there is only one review, and it misses the point. Marlatt is a pioneer in the field of addictions, and introduced science to the field of substance abuse treatment.

While it may be difficult for a layman to understand, it is a very important work for any professional in the field to have on their shelf.

eye opening 11 Jan 2009
By T. Michel - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I disagree with the previous comment. I am a "layman" and my addiction counselor recommended this book to me as someone who isn't using a 12 step model of addiction recovery. Yes it has "big words", but it makes perfect sense to me, and what's amazing is that the bulk of the writing was done in the early 1980's. I recommend this book to anyone not interested in the disease model of addiction theory.
