Finally, there is a clear exposition of a comprehensive clinical approach to the treatment of addictive behaviors and associated psychological problems. One of the key strengths of this book is that it presents an integrated treatment approach as an overarching model that therapists can use as a guide as they help their clients manage or overcome their addictions. It also provides an integrated approach to the treatment of co-occuring disorders for clients who have both addictions and other psychological problems that are often reciprocally interrelated. The addictive behaviors field owes a debt of gratitude for Dr. Bishop's seminal contribution, which represents the cutting edge of the emerging paradigm shift in addiction treatment.--G. Alan Marlatt, Ph.D
