Publisher's summary

Addiction is one of the most prevalent forms of disease in the current generation. It is a persistent kind of disease shown by wanting to use drugs; it is difficult to manage and control even though it has adverse and harmful results. Most people use drugs voluntary for healing purposes but consistent substance use leads to brain damage or a change in the proper functionality of the brain. This is due to the fact that the person has no self- control to the drug and is also unable to resist the drug. We have various forms of addiction today such as:

• Addiction to porn
• Addiction to drugs and alcohol
• Addiction to online gambling
• Addiction to food

This audiobook discusses the different forms of addiction and their symptoms, and factors that lead to addiction. Most of addicts try alternate ways to stop this adverse behavior but find it difficult stopping long-term. The book discusses how addicts of various types can be assisted through dialectical behavior therapy. This is a kind of treatment that the addict undergoes to help them manage impulsive feelings and learn to accommodate stress and develop desired interpersonal skills. Dialectical behavior therapy uses modules in overcoming various addictions and it can be implemented to address substance abuse.

Excellent presentation.

It was a quick easy listen with some very insightful thoughts on what's it's really like to be an addict

AMAZING

This is a beautifully organized book! I love the ease of use and the ability to merge diary cards and a planner in one. There are places to to ass things that I am grateful for - gratitude is so important to keep you focused on what you do have and remain positive.

Fantastic

This book has helped me to better understand addiction and how it changes the brain and cognition of addicts, and is the best resource to present to people who do not understand addiction, and make the most ignorant comments like: if They loved their kids They'd stop.

Awesome

This book is a trainable, attainable skill book. The author makes many good points. He has a fresh new outlook of Behavioral Techniques.

Perfect for Beginners

The different plans for variations on the therapy can be a bit much to keep up with but there is an application of DBT here for almost any need.

Great book

It acknowledges head-on that people struggling with addiction have faced, and will continue to need to cope with, loss and the grief that attends it. It also describe drug addiction and recovery abuse and stop drinking alcohol.

This is absolutely the best one

Very helpful in helping to understand medically what it going on in the addicted person's brain and body. Definitely supports the medical model of addiction and what to expect over the course of time while dealing with a loved one's addiction.

Very helpful guide!

This is some of the best material I have ever learned and taught as a therapist. The book is useful as a guide to develop and run an effective group.

Good positive book.

The audible edition has additional helpful information which contributes to the ability to immediately implement the skills training.
