Description
"This book presents a challenging, new approach to the understanding of addictive behaviours, based on the premise that they represent breakdowns in self-regulatory processes. This new perspective has profound implications for the prevention and treatment of addictive disorders ... Part I lays out the conceptual foundations of the self-regulation model for the prevention and treatment of addictive behaviours. The theoretical basis of self-control is presented from three different perspectives in Part II: developmental psychology, neuropsychology, and associated learning. Part III addresses special issues, ranging from various forms of impairment of control, to controlled recreational drug use, to regaining control without treatment. Implications for treatment and prevention are presented in Part IV of the book, where a range of addictive behaviours are considered as well as several innovative approaches to improving control."--Back cover.
