Synopsis

Addictive behaviors are often the result of loss―the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, or even the end of a romantic relationship. This fully revised and updated second edition of The Mindfulness Workbook for Addiction offers readers an effective program for working through their addiction and grief with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Written by two VA psychologists, this workbook is effective for treating the emotion dysregulation, stress, depression, and grief that lie at the heart of addiction.
