Top scientist-practitioners offer a panoramic view of relapse prevention across the most extensive range of behaviors addressed in one place. Practitioners of all types, as well as researchers interested in the critical next questions facing the field, will appreciate this state-of-the-science volume and the clear treatment guidance it contains."-Carlo C.
