Therapist's guide to evidence-based relapse prevention

This book describes the evidence-based approaches to preventing relapse of major mental and substance-related disorders. "Therapist's Guide to Evidence-based Relapse Prevention" combines the theoretical rationale, empirical data, and the practical "how-to" for intervention programs.

The first section will serve to describe the cognitive-behavioral model of relapse and provide a general introduction to relapse prevention techniques.

While Section II will focus on specific problem areas, Section III will focus on diverse populations and treatment settings.

It incorporates theoretical and empirical support, and provides step-by-step strategies for implementing relapse prevention techniques.

It also includes case studies that describe application of relapse prevention techniques.
