My review is that the book is somewhat verbose but has a message for clinitions who work with people who have a need to change their thought patterns and do not know how to accomplish this task.

This book, based upon the Prochaska and Norcross model of “stages of change” is a vital resource for the chemical dependency/abuse counselor, or anyone else who works with this population.
The authors clearly delineate how a person becomes addicted (using the stages of change model- except in reverse), then moving on to the process of recovery.
Contrary to an earlier review, I did not find this resource to be “verbose;” rather I thought the presentation was cogent and crisp.
Scholarly yet practical without pedantry this is an informative piece of literature in a field where one needs all of the resources one can get.
Highly recommended.
