Relapse Prevention Counseling Workbook: Managing High-Risk Situations

by Terence T Gorski

This workbook presents seven powerful clinical processes that quickly identify and manage the high-risk situations that cause relapse. Special emphasis is placed on the management of irrational thoughts, unmanageable feelings, self-destructive urges, and self-defeating behaviors. This counseling process is appropriate for people in all stages of recovery who are facing situations that put them at immediate risk of relapse. The process can usually be competed in seven to fourteen sessions and is compatible with brief strategic group therapy methods.
