Book excerpt: "The growing prevalence of behavioral addictions makes it clear that the majority of counselors (if not all) will work with clients with addictive behaviors. As such, the author aspired to write a book that would aid in your conceptualization, assessment, and treatment of a variety of behavioral addictions. This book is the culmination of 18 months of investigation into the most current information related to behavioral addictions.
