Addiction and change

Examines addiction and recovery through the lens of the Transtheoretical Model(TTM), which "posits that individuals move through six stages of change: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination." Uses up-to-date research on addiction and recovery to help practitioners navigate a way through the TTM with addicts in an effort to improve the likelihood of success. Draws on case studies and examples, and examines types of addictions as well as an updated section on addiction in adolescent and young adult populations.
