Summary: "Not everyone who experiments with substance use or risky behavior 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. From Carlo C. DiClemente, codeveloper of the transtheoretical model (TTM), the book identifies the stages and processes involved in initiating, modifying, maintaining, or stopping any pattern of behavior. 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. Key words/Subject Areas: addictions, alcoholism, problem drinking, substance abuse, substance use disorders, addictive behaviors, chemical dependency, drugs, nicotine, dependence, treatments, interventions, prevention, recovery, stages of change, processes, transtheoretical model, TTM, addiction research, motivational interviewing, behavior change, behavioural change, texts Audience: Practitioners and graduate students in clinical psychology, clinical social work, psychiatric nursing, substance abuse counseling, and psychiatry"--.
