Brief Therapy for Relapse Prevention: The Comprehensive Relapse Prevention Workbook

This workbook presents fifteen core processes that are divided into five section: stabilization, assessment, warning sign identification, warning sign management, and recovery planning. It presents a psychotherapy process that relates current warning signs to the core dynamics of personality that drive them. As a result, this workbook is most appropriate for clients with a stable recovery who are willing and able to examine childhood patterns and relate those patterns to the problem of relapse. This process is more involved than simple warning sign identification and management and can usually be completed in fifteen to thirty sessions, depending on the severity of the problems that are identified during the process.
