"In conclusion, this is a ground-breaking book that
provides a comprehensive overview of the use of CBT with clients
with addiction difficulties. It would be a useful guide for
clinicians of varied experience looking to provide a first-rate CBT
treatment for clients with addiction difficulties."
(Journal of Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy,
2012)

"A particuular strength of the book is the easily palatable and
tasty mix of theory and practice; this is the result of a joing
production by six psychologists with over 60 years' combined
experience of working with people addicted to substances." (The
Psychiatrist, 1 April 2011)

'All professionals who work in mental health services encounter
people with substance use problems. Very often they feel
ill-equipped to help. This is a lively and accessible book, written
within a CBT framework, and based on the authors' wealth of
experience of working with drug and alcohol problems. It provides
new ways of thinking about these problems and, crucially, offers
clear and structured guidance on what to do to help - an
inspiring and invaluable resource.'
