Beyond Addiction

Overview

A fully updated and expanded edition of the essential guide, with a new foreword by Quit Like a Woman author Holly Whitaker.Revised and expanded, this tenth anniversary edition of Beyond Addiction eschews the theatrics of interventions and tough love to show family and friends how they can use kindness, positive reinforcement, and motivational and behavioral strategies to help their loved ones overcome addiction problems and compulsive behaviors. Drawing on decades of collective research and clinical experience at the most progressive addiction treatment center in the United States, the authors present the best practical advice science has to offer—now updated with the latest research, case examples, and resources.
