Bøker av Glenn D. Walters

In addition to lifestyle structure, Walters examines the three factors believed to be responsible for selection of a lifestyle over adaptation and preference for one lifestyle over another: incentive or type of fear experienced, opportunity or specific learning experiences, and choice or decision making apparatus.

Provides a guide to the task of conceptualizing, understanding and intervening with persons who abuse substances. The book offers practical suggestions, assessment procedures and change strategies directed at the thoughts, feelings and behaviours believed to support a drug-dependent lifestyle.

Walters integrates information from traditional criminological models and findings from developmental psychology to form a system of five belief systems (self-view, world-view, past-view, present-view, and future-view) designed to explain crime initiation and maintenance.
