Luke Mitcheson, Jenny Maslin, Tim Meynen, Tamara Morrison, Robert Hill, and Shamil Wanigaratne – Clinical Psychologists at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust

“In conclusion, this is a ground-breaking book that provides a comprehensive overview of the use of CBT with clients with addiction difficulties.  It would be a useful guide for clinicians of varied experience looking to provide a first-rate CBT treatment for clients with addiction difficulties.”  (Journal of Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy, 2012)"A particuular strength of the book is the easily palatable and tasty mix of theory and practice; this is the result of a joing production by six psychologists with over 60 years' combined experience of working with people addicted to substances." (The Psychiatrist, 1 April 2011)
