"Cyndi Turner's guide, from the first interview to the exploration of what techniques will best work for the individual client, provides the framework and practical applications on which clinicians can build their own practices. Her belief that it is crucial that the treatment adapt to the client instead of insisting the client morph to a pre-established program is right in line with Moderation Management's belief that each individual is empowered to accept personal responsibility for choosing and maintaining their own path and should have access to the support of professionals and peers in their choice." Mary Reid, executive director, Moderation Management "Harm reduction and alcohol moderation are really important strategies that need to be offered - as part of a broad menu of options - to everyone with addiction problems. Cyndi Turner is a really thoughtful and intelligent exponent of both and this book will help a lot of people." Johann Hari, New York Times best-selling author of Chasing the Scream: The First and the Last Days of the War on Drugs and Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression-And the Unexpected Solutions "This is an unprecedented book that divulges a proven and effective treatment protocol for the majority of alcohol users. Complete with an Alcohol Moderation Assessment tool, this book exposes the flaws in traditional treatment models and offers practical solutions. A must-read for all professionals who help people at various stages of alcohol use, and an opportunity to make a global impact in the world of addictions." Tom Dutta, founder and CEO, KRE-AT; speaker and radio show host; author of The Way of the Quiet Warrior " We are in the midst of a paradigm shift in our thinking about how to reduce the harms associated with drinking and it is essential that we expand beyond an abstinence-only framework.

This practical and sensible book offers a compassionate and evidence-based approach to help people examine their relationship with alcohol. Filled with useful information, assessment questions and moderation strategies, this book is a valuable and timely addition to our toolbox as clinicians." Jenifer Talley, PhD Assistant Executive Director, The Center for Optimal Living, New York, NY "This very helpful workbook is especially valuable in that it can be used by therapists with their clients or on its own for those who are not ready or are not able to receive therapy. It's greatly needed and I highly recommend it." David J. Hanson, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Sociology "A valuable guide for clinicians in an emerging area of practice.
