 Alcohol Health & Research World: Relapse prevention
The model of behavior change on which the relapse prevention strategies described in this article are based assumes the existence of adequate motivational incentives; that is, it is assumed that clients perceive some benefit to working with a therapist toward greater control of their drinking behavior.
In terms of Prochaska and DiClemente's (1984) model of change, some relapse prevention procedures can be seen as ways of narrowing the gap between contemplation and action, of demonstrating to the client that change can be gradual and relatively nonthreatening and thus motivating the client to attempt to control his or her drinking.
Relapse, by definition, involves a failure to maintain behavior change, rather than a failure to initiate change.

Marlatt's relapse prevention model was developed in the late 1970s, and the term relapse prevention became well known during the 1980s as an empirically-based, cognitive social learning theory explanation of the relapse process, with associated treatment implications.
Marlatt's relapse prevention model places particular emphasis on ways of minimizing the damage associated with relapses, learning from relapses so as to be better able to avoid relapse in the future, and cognitively processing relapses so as to not unduly diminish one's motivation to succeed.
Gorski's relapse prevention approach has no scientific or research basis and is based on his work as a chemical dependency counselor for several years.

 RELAPSE
Third, once you have escaped the relapsed thoughts, emotions, or actions, then you need to look carefully at the relapse event to learn what were the variables which led to it.
You need to accept that this is a relapse and use the TEA system of recovery to identify what is "sick'' in your current thoughts, emotions, or actions.
Fifth, once you have developed plans and actions to alter your recovery process, you need to protect yourself from a repeat relapse by developing new self-affirmations and self-scripts which recognize that it is human to fall back into old habits of thoughts, emotions, and actions.

 "Encyclopedia of Mental Health: Shyness"
Studies with phenelzine and cognitive behavioral group therapy (CBGT) showed that phenalzine had a faster onset (6 weeks in comparison to 9 weeks), but one-half of phenelzine responders relapsed during the follow-up period, while responders to cognitive behavioral group therapy maintained gains or continued to improve.
There are no significant short-term differences between pharmacological and cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) approaches; attrition rates are similar (between 14% and 18%), but investigators in a study that combined approaches found that subjects who received CBT plus Buspirone did worse than those who received either treatment alone.
A substantial number of generalized social phobics fail to respond to either, and combined treatments are being investigated.

These again have been in a special way the object of attack because, doubtless, of their connection with Luther's revolt (see LUTHER).
In this respect of course indulgences are not exceptional: no institution, however holy, has entirely escaped abuse through the malice or unworthiness of man. Even the Eucharist, as St. Paul declares, means an eating and drinking of judgment to the recipient who discerns not the body of the Lord.
And, as God's forbearance is constantly abused by those who relapse into sin, it is not surprising that the offer of pardon in the form of an indulgence should have led to evil practices.
