ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews the empirical support first for each of the primary components of the Fairy Tale Model, and then for the treatment approach as a package, as presented in the remainder of this book. The primary treatment components are motivational interviewing, self-management training, trauma resolution, and relapse prevention/harm reduction. In addition, this treatment also supports many of the interventions not specific to a given treatment approach, or common factors, which have been shown to promote positive outcomes.
