Klingemann, Harald; Sobell, Linda C.; Barker, J.; Blomqvist, J.; Cloud, W.; Ellinstad, T.; Finfgeld, D.; Granfield, R.; Hodgings, D.; Hunt, G.; Junker, C.; Moggi, F.; Peele, S.; Smart, R.; Sobell, M.; Tucker, J.

For many years, what has been known about recovery from addictive behaviors has come solely from treatment studies. Only recently has the study of recoveries in the absence of formal treatment or self-help groups provided an alternative source of information.
This book on the process of self-change from addictive behaviors is the first of its kind, as it presents more than research findings. Rather, it presents the process of self-change from several different perspectives - environmental, cross-cultural, prevention and interventions at both societal and individual level. It provides strategies for how health care practitioners and government policy makers alike can aid and foster self-change. Directions for future research priorities are also presented.
