ABSTRACT

Perceptual Adjustment Therapy (PAT) is a professional psychotherapy designed specifically for addictions and compulsive behaviours. Synthesising elements of Adlerian, Gestalt and Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques into a single, comprehensive therapy for alcohol and drug addicted clients, it enables addictions professionals to diagnose and treat addictions effectively. The authors have designed the book to synchronise PAT with the popular 12-step self-help groups. PAT can also be used as a tool to identify high-risk children before trouble begins.
