Addiction and change: how addictions develop and addicted people recover (Second edition.)

Not everyone who experiments with substance use or risky behaviour becomes addicted, and many who are addicted have been able to recover.

This authoritative book, now revised and updated, has given tens of thousands of professionals and students a state-of-the-art framework for understanding the journey both into and out of addiction.

Grounded in extensive research, and illustrated with vivid case examples, the book shows how using the TTM can help overcome obstacles to change and make treatment and prevention more effective.
