It is particularly helpful as part of a treatment program for dysfunctional patterned behaviors (commonly referred to as addictions). The program has been successfully used with participants who are simultaneously receiving therapy which might be jeopardized by reactive anger or poor anger-management.
To support the use of the workbook in group or individual treatment, a companion facilitator's guide has been prepared which contains...
- useful exercises,
- a skeletal framework for session planning,
- a full description of the counselling format used when field-testing the Workbook. - results of the field-test.
