Reviews"The authors of this manual are the leading practitioners in England in SBNT. The National Treatment Agency (NTA) hopes that this book is used by clinicians to implement evidence-based practice and improve treatment for alcohol and drug users." - Annette Dale Perera, Director of Quality, National Treatment Agency (NTA). "Much more than a manual for the delivery of SBNT, this book provides a clarion call for treating alcohol problems via social and familial networks. Packed throughout with research evidence, practical tools and case studies, practitioners are clearly led through the steps needed to support positive change among all those connected with problem drinking." - Don Shenker, Chief Executive, Alcohol Concern. "This is much more than a therapists guide to Social Behaviour and Network Therapy. It tracks the history of context driven, cognitive interventions for individuals with alcohol problems and, as part of the UKATT trial, it is firmly grounded in the practitioner and practice evidence base. This book is essential reading for all of us who are in the business of helping promote improvement in the quality of life of our clients." - Professor Robin Davidson, Consultant Clinical Psychologist., "The authors of this manual are the leading practitioners in England in SBNT.
