Addictions blight millions of lives and are a massive drain on health and social services. For a long time uninformed dogma has held back progress in the way addiction was understood and treated. Joe Griffin's lively training day presents an essential overview of a wide variety of addictive behaviours, and what they have in common, and describes in detail the most successful ways of rapidly breaking addictive patterns using psychotherapy informed by the latest neuroscientific findings.

It also includes new discoveries about how to disengage the brain from addictive behaviour which are proving highly beneficial for helping addicts recover, sometimes even quite quickly, and prevent relapses.
