Applying Marlatt's elegant research on relapse prevention to problem drinking, smoking, substance abuse, eating disorders, and compulsive gambling, this volume analyzes factors that may lead to relapse and offers practical techniques for maintaining treatment gains.


Featuring strategies derived from years of clinical work and repeated testing, this hands-on manual provides patient-therapist narratives that convey a clinical feel for how this therapy works, as well as actual case vignettes illustrating effective techniques for diagnosis and treatment.

Media Reviews
This book provides a very useful adaptation of a specific therapy technique for a rather large segment of the patient population, namely the depressed adolescent. It would be of considerable interest for anyone treating this patient population, especially in this era of emphasis on short-term treatment. -- Doody's Annual
., . provides a wealth of practical and theorectical information as it clearly elucidates treatment interventions, technical problems, the context of therapy, and key principles of cognitive therapy with adolescent clients. -- Contemporary Psychology

., .. Useful for learning the nuts and bolts of cognitive therapy.... --Jerry M. Wiener, M.D. in American Journal of Psychiatry
This book is a long-awaited, timely, and wonderfully executed addition to the treatment armamentarium for young patients with depression.... I would enthusiastically recommend this book to trainees and therapists working with both adolescents and young adults. It is an excellent text for those who want to broaden their therapeutic acumen in general or for those who wish to learn the technique of cognitive therapy in particular. Other treatment manuals on the market offer brevity. This text offers comprehensiveness, tying together rhetorical background, clear and detailed examples of the application of technique, and important clinical caveats for those new to cognitive therapy and its application in adolescents. Its authors are among the most experienced and regarded clinician/researchers in the field... This book is an important contribution to the field of adolescent depression, and it will reward those who study. --Craig L. Donnely, M.D., Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Mediacl Center, Lebanon, NH

This informative book is useful for professionals who are already familiar with both cognitive therapy and adolescent development as well as for those who wish to apply these concepts in their treatment of depressed adolescents. --Jane Bonk, Jane Addams College of Social Work, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL
