When I received this book I was somewhat disappointed because my expectation was a full size book (should have read the advertisement better) with patient exercise examples that are progressing in a motivational / stages of change therapy group. The text is good, but I miss the suggested handouts and exercises I could use with my patients. The First Edition provided examples and suggestions on how to proceed with the group process. Well written, but did not help me much in my busy clinic.. "Substance Abuse Treatment Revealed" according to Anthony M Thompson. This is a great primer for many of us who don't get full instruction into post-modern approaches such as Stages of Change, especially as it pertains to treating clients who want to beat substance abuse..

The authors are leaders in the field who describe ways to tailor interventions for clients with varying levels of motivation or readiness to change. They draw on cutting-edge theory and research on the transtheoretical model to explain what works (and what doesn't work) at different stages of change.
