In an attempt to reach the personal goals we set for ourselves, we all struggle with the same fundamental concern: how can we make changes last? Based on original research conducted by the author over the past twenty years, Making Changes Last provides a definitive investigation of enduring change. Therapists and change agents, as well as a diverse group of people who have transformed themselves through travel, trauma, self-initiated experiences, or structured therapy, have been interviewed about their most dramatic personal changes and what contributed to making these changes last. Their stories are combined with a comprehensive review of the research on the subjects of treatment maintenance, addictions relapse, permanent learning, and personal change into a comprehensive model for understanding this complex phenomenon. Kottler then offers several practical strategies for constructing an optimal treatment program that will endure over time. Written for helping and leadership professionals, as well as the general public, Making Changes Last will give readers the knowledge and tools they need to understand the mechanisms fo successful, lasting change.

Readers who are tired of the 'try my wonderful theory of psychotherapy' type books will welcome this innovative work.' - Howard Rosenthal, author of Favorite Counseling and Therapy Homework Assignments; 'Creativity and an essential contribution - Kottler's trademark. Don't miss this book on change - it may transform you and your work' - Fred Bemak, Ohio State University
