Up to a quarter of the UK population is currently believed to misuse alcohol. This first self-help book aimed specifically at problem drinking uses an approach based on real clinical practice, first to recognize alcohol misuse and then, using proven Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques, to show the drinker how to turn the tables and regain control of alcohol consumption.
For anyone who feels alcohol is beginning to rule their lives, this is an indispensable guide, combining the expertise of psychologists and those working in the medical profession.
It also shows how to enlist the help of friends and family.

Softcover. Condition: As New. Many people are aware that they drink too much for their health and well-being but find it very difficult to cut back on alcohol. Drinking to help you feel relaxed in social situations or to unwind after a stressful day are common self-help strategies, but for growing numbers of people drinking excessively on a regular basis leads to very real health, work and relationship problems. In this book, former alcohol counsellor, Marcantonio Spada provides strategies for dealing with excessive drinking based on cognitive behavioral therapy. Clinical studies have shown that CBT significantly reduces heavy drinking patterns and that these gains were maintained after 12 months. CBT can help people develop skills to better manage their behaviour in situations where they drink heavily - for example in social situations, when stressed, or when facing problems and anxieties. CBT also helps people manage cravings for alcohol. Seller Inventory # bf017436-f311-4ef9-a7b3-447b4c82f7f9
