"Epstein (applied and professional psychology, Rutgers U.) and
McCardy (psychology, U. of New Mexico) have been experts in alcohol
abuse and treatment for many years, and they have written this
therapist's guide to outline their effective treatment protocol
which has been proven effective in the field. Presented in 12
sessions/interventions, this program uses cognitive behavioral
approaches to help patients manage triggers, deal with destructive
urges,
challenge distracting thoughts and refuse drinks outright. Each
session is presented with detailed instructions for sample
dialogues, and protocols are presented for treating additional
components such as
depression and anger." -- Shannon Hendrickson
