Abstract
In 1984, a group of researchers, theorists, and therapists gathered at an international conference in Scotland to contribute to the development of a more comprehensive model of change for the treatment of addictive behaviors. The conference and this book that grew out of the conference are signs of the Zeitgeist; they are part of a new attempt to integrate diverse systems of psychotherapy (Prochaska, 1984). In his classic call for a rapproachment across competing systems of therapy, Goldfried (1980) signaled that it is time to move beyond parochial approaches to treatment. It is time to move toward more comprehensive models of change.
