About the Book

Thoroughly revised and updated, the second edition of this important clinical resource and text reflects two decades' worth of advances in research and practice. Provided is 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. Refining and elaborating the editors' original model, the expert contributors draw on the latest knowledge about specific addictive disorders and the process of change. Extensively rewritten chapters on alcohol, tobacco, and eating disorders have been augmented with new coverage of stimulants, opiates, cannabis, "club drugs," gambling problems, risky sexual practices, and sexual offending. Another important new chapter addresses cultural issues in relapse prevention with diverse clients.

Reviews

More than two decades ago, Alan 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. Practitioners of all types, as well as researchers interested in the critical next questions facing the field, will appreciate this state-of-the-science volume and the clear treatment guidance it contains. - Carlo C.
