Criminal Conduct and Substance Abuse Treatment - The Provider′s Guide

Milkman and Wanberg′s program rests upon the best that science has to offer. Once this workbook stimulates change, it pays attention to the principles of relapse prevention that will help young people stay changed - and this is the litmus test for any treatment program that targets behavioral problems. – Dr. Howard J. Shaffer
Pathways to Self-Discovery and Change is the most comprehensive and thoughtful program we have seen to help at-risk youth gain freedom from crime and drugs and develop attitudes and skills to lead productive prosocial lives. – G. Alan Marlatt, Ph.D. and George A. Parks, Ph.D.
This exceptional and widely needed program shows great promise as a developmentally appropriate treatment model for adolescents who manifest co-occurring disturbances with substance abuse and criminal activity.

Sederer
