In the 20th century, cognitive-behavioral theory (CBT) and a number of new therapy methods were developed as an alternative to behaviorist theory. The model of relapse prevention, which falls under the umbrella of CBT, is an alternative to abstinence-based methods of addressing addiction. Who developed this model?
  1. Lynn Rehm
  2. Bill Wilson
  3. Aaron Beck
  4. Alan Marlatt
Explanation
Answer: D - Alan Marlatt developed the idea of relapse prevention as an alternative to abstinence-based programs such as AA. This model is based on Marlatt’s idea that addiction is an overlearned habit and on the concept of harm reduction. Rather than viewing relapse as a failure, patients are encouraged to consider relapses as inevitable learning experiences.
