Pressezitat
From the reviews: "This discussion of how individuals recover from additive behaviors using self-change strategies delves into what actually constitutes 'treatment,' and how addicted people have recovered on their own without a formal program. ... It is intended for use as a reference by researchers, healthcare practitioners, public health specialists, and alcohol and drug policy makers." (Gary B. Kaniuk, Doody's Review Service, February, 2008)
"... a landmark in the field of addiction research. ... Appeal[s] to researchers and practitioners alike, stimulating thoughts about processes of change that can be examined in research and utilized in practice. ... This book is destined to become a classic...." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, July 23, 2008, Vol. 53, Release 30) "This volume offers a comprehensive view of the halting and somewhat circuitous path that led to our current understanding of self-change from all types of addictive behaviors. The editors are pioneers in the invesrigarion of this phenomenon of self-change among individuals with serious drug and alcohol problems in multiple countries and continents. ...a wonderfully rich compendium of the stare of the science of self-change. ...As with any good book, this one leaves this reader wishing for more ....many different audiences can benefit from reading this book." (the Behavior Therapist, January 2010, Carlo C. DiClemente, Unit'ersity afMaryland, Baltimore)
