In both developed nations and the developing world, there is a
clear trend towards addressing alcohol, tobacco, and other drug
problems through health and social services. There are several
persuasive arguments for this shift beyond pure economics, which
include comorbidity, cost effectiveness, coordination of care and
effectiveness.
This is the first volume to pull together effective methods that
can be used for addressing substance abuse through health and
social service systems. It also integrates interventions for a
range of drugs of abuse, rather than focusing on only one (such as
alcohol). The book's international perspective also makes this a
unique contribution to the existing literature.
*A to Z revision of the seminal bestseller (over 450,000 in print);
the bible of a proven, highly effective therapeutic technique.
*Virtually all-new, the book extends MI to more fields, yet is 25%
shorter and has less technical jargon. *Popular worldwide--clinical
reference sales are supplemented by heavy text use and
workshop-driven demand from numerous MI trainings. *Broad
market--originally developed for treating addictions, the approach
is now widely used throughout mental health and health care
specialties. *More than just preparing people to change behavior,
MI helps people continue to grow; examples and sample dialogues
show MI in action. *Chapter summaries, lists of key concepts, and
"Personal Perspective" and "For Therapists" boxes aid in learning.
In the early 1980s the transtheoretical model of change was still
in its infancy. Seminal publications were just appearing, but the
model already seemed to hold such promise that we made it the
organizing theme for the Third International Conference on
Treatment of Addictive Behaviors (ICTAB-3), which convened in
Scotland in 1984. That meeting gave rise to the first edition of
this volume (Miller & Heather, 1986), which focused on
processes involved in moving people from one stage to the next.
With the volume still in print more than a decade later, we were
approached by Plenum Press with the idea of preparing this second
edition. We were, obvi ously, persuaded that there was merit to the
idea. Since 1986 the work of Pro chaska and DiClemente has grown
exponentially in popularity and influence. In Britain and the
Americas, it is now unusual to find an addiction professional who
has not at least heard about the stages of change, and more
sophisticated applica tions of the transtheoretical model are
spreading through health care systems and well beyond. The model
has influenced professional training, health care delivery, and the
design of many studies including a number of large clinical
trials."
*Bestseller with over 125,000 in print, completely rewritten; over
90% new material reflects advances in MI as well as the changing
health care landscape. *Authoritative--Rollnick and Miller are the
renowned co-developers of this in-demand, empirically supported
method. *Tailor made for busy health care providers; concise,
accessible, affordable, practical, and illustrated with clinical
dialogues. *For providers in any setting, from private practice and
hospitals to health clinics, rehab centers, pharmacies, and
schools. *A key to effective health care is patient adherence; MI
tackles behavior change head-on. *New or expanded coverage of
working with hostile or resistant patients, vaccine hesitancy (not
Covid-specific), and delivering bad news.
About a decade ago, psychologists began exploring the commonalities
among alcohol and drug abuse, smoking, and obesity. The term sub
stance abuse evolved into the current concept of addictive
behaviors, which recognizes similarities with other behaviors that
do not involve consummatory responses (e. g., pathological
gambling, compulsions, sexual deviations). Professional societies
and journals now have been founded in both Britain and the United
States with the purpose of focus ing on research and treatment in
the area of addictive behaviors. As the field has evolved, new
models have emerged to address the questions and puzzles that face
professionals. This volume examines some of these current issues
and, in particular, explores common pro cesses of change that seem
to cut across the addictive behaviors. The chapters are based on
papers presented at the Third International Con ference on
Treatment of Addictive Behaviors, which was held at North Berwick,
Scotland, in August of 1984. The conference was organized around an
integrative model of stages and processes of change that has been
useful in organizing new knowledge about how to intervene with
addictive behaviors. This model is set forth by its authors, Jim
Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente, in Chapter 1. In Chapter 2, Fred
Kanfer ex pounds his own model of self-regulation, which overlaps
nicely with the Prochaska-DiClemente framework and provides a
behavioral-theoretical context."

The community reinforcement approach (CRA) to treating alcohol and
other drug problems is designed to make changes in the client's
daily environment, to reduce substance abuse and promote a
healthier lifestyle. It is of proven effectiveness, and should be
more widely used. This 2001 book presents research on the
effectiveness of the CRA for a clinical readership. It includes the
original study comparing CRA with traditional treatments of alcohol
dependence, and summarizes other trials with alcohol, cocaine and
heroin users. The CRA program provides basic guidelines for
clinicians, focusing on communication skills, problem-solving and
drink-refusal strategies, and addresses the needs of the client as
part of a social community. Combining practical advice on such
matters with a scientific survey of CRA in use, this book offers a
treatment approach to all involved with the support and treatment
of those with alcohol and drug problems.

What is it that makes some therapists so much more effective than
others, even when they are delivering the same evidence-based
treatment? This instructive book identifies specific interpersonal
skills and attitudes--often overlooked in clinical training--that
facilitate better client outcomes across a broad range of treatment
methods and contexts. Reviewing 70 years of psychotherapy research,
the preeminent authors show that empathy, acceptance, warmth,
focus, and other characteristics of effective therapists are both
measurable and teachable. Richly illustrated with annotated sample
dialogues, the book gives practitioners and students a blueprint
for learning, practicing, and self-monitoring these crucial
clinical skills.
Experimental stress analysis is an important tool in the overall
design and development of machinery and structures. While
analytical techniques and computer solutions are available during
the design stage, the results are still dependent on many
assumptions that must be made in order to adapt them to the
problems at hand. One popular method of finding structural and
design weaknesses is through the use of the electrical resistance
strain gage. These devices are relatively low in cost, easily
applied by a reasonably skilled technician, and require little
investment in instrumentation (for the general user), yet they
yield a wealth of information in a relatively short time period.
The information and its validity is, of course, dependent on the
training and knowledge of the engineer who plans the tests and
reduces the data. In addition to serving as a reference for
engineers, this practical, instructive book has a high potential as
a textbook for senior and first-year graduate students in
engineering and related fields, such as engineering physics and
geology. A solutions manual is available to instructors using the
book as a text. To request a free copy of the manual, please write:

Millions of people would like to cut down on their drinking without
giving it up altogether and this encouraging book has helped many
make that goal a reality. Distinguished clinician-researchers
William R. Miller and Ricardo F. Munoz have spent more than 40
years studying whether moderation works, who it works (and doesn't
work) for, and how to achieve it. Armed with authoritative facts
about how much is too much, readers can set realistic, customized
moderation goals. Loads of practical strategies, stories, and
planning tips are included. Readers learn new ways to enjoy social
events, defuse tension and stress, and cope with difficult emotions
with or without a glass in hand. Updated with the latest scientific
data, the second edition is designed to be even more interactive,
and features a new chapter on mindfulness.
