Beyond Addiction eschews the theatrics of interventions and tough love to show family and friends how they can use kindness, positive reinforcement, and motivational and behavioral strategies to help their loved ones change. Drawing on forty collective years of research and decades of clinical experience, the authors present the best practical advice science has to offer.

Delivered with warmth, optimism, and humor, Beyond Addiction defines a new, empowered role for friends and family and a paradigm shift for the field. Learn how to tap the transformative power of relationships for positive change, guided by exercises and examples. Practice what really works in therapy and in everyday life, and discover many different treatment options along with tips for navigating the system. And have hope: this guide is designed not only to help someone change but to help someone want to change.

Jeffrey Foote, PhD, is cofounder and executive director of the Center for Motivation & Change and a psychologist for the New York Mets. He has been a leader in the science and humanity of change for twenty-five years.

Stephanie Higgs is an editor and writer who is dedicated to bridging the gap between helpful ideas and people who could use the help.

Nicole Kosanke, PhD, is director of evaluation and family services at CMC. In 2008 Dr. Kosanke was featured in an O, the Oprah Magazine article about her client's experience in treatment at CMC, which was later published in O's Big Book of Happiness: The Best of O.

Carrie Wilkens, PhD, is cofounder and clinical director of the Center for Motivation & Change and a dedicated practitioner and researcher of the most effective treatments for substance use problems and compulsive behaviors. Her expertise is regularly sought by CBS's The Early Show; Fox News; Newsweek; O, the Oprah Magazine; and Psychology Today.
