This book is based on the authors' more than two decades of research, which has established that problem drinkers people who have identifiable life difficulties because of their drinking, but who, unlike alcoholics, are not severely dependent on alcohol can often work through their own difficulties with alcohol if sufficiently motivated and supervised. The book outlines an effective program that gives clients a structure for evaluating and understanding their drinking problem, choosing their treatment goals, and deciding exactly how they will change their behavior in order to help themselves. Illustrated with numerous case examples, this unusually practical text also features handouts that can be photocopied for clients. CONDITION â USED: Books sold are in GOOD or better condition.
