About this title

Review

'... a comprehensive, highly informative book that is invaluable to individuals looking to be introduced to the history of this approach and learn the therapeutic techniques involved.' Psychological Medicine

'It is very rarely that I read a scientific book of about 200 pages in a rather short period of time, that such a book is not only scientifically sound and well written, but in some parts even exciting in such a way that you do not want to stop reading it ... Altogether the book is well written.' Addiction

'This is a clear, concise, reflective and most interesting book ... this book should not be archived, but viewed as an 'essential read' by every clinician in this field.' European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

'I recommend this book ... for addiction specialists who want to review the most effective treatments for their client groups ...'. International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry

'... this is an easy to read book that presents an evidence base for a psychosocial intervention in the treatment of substance misuse, in a way that is both convincing and appealing. It is worthy of much praise ...'. Colin MacRae, Medical Sociology News
