Abstract & Review:
Highly Recommended!
A must-read for anyone who wants to master the "stages-of-change" approach to IDDT implementation and treatment. These guys coined the phrase and wrote "the" book. The publication of this book precedes the book "Substance Abuse Treatment and the Stages of Change" by Gerard Connors, Dennis Donovan, and Carlo DiClemente (also in this database) and is a great companion to it. . . . Now, here's what the publisher has to say:
"To uncover the secret to successful personal change, three acclaimed psychologists studied more than 1000 people who were able to positively and permanently alter their lives without psychotherapy. They discovered that change does not depend on luck or willpower. It is a process that can be successfully managed by anyone who understands how it works" (source: www.harpercollins.com).
