Recovery and Change: A Motivational Enhancement Intervention Manual for Teen AODA was a compulation of Steve and Barb's intervention in one of the toughest alternative schools in their area. They spent an entire year building a successful program of motivational enhancement groups for interveneing with adolescent alcohol and drug abuse. The manual is in a simple to use format that matchs each group agenda with an intervention that is based upon the group members resistance level. There are 15 excellent group agendas all easily catergorized to match low-, medium- or high-intervention resistance levels. There is additional valuable information for building more successful interventions with teens using drugs and alcohol.

Steve has successfully published one manual titled “Facilitating AODA Groups in Schools,” which is a unique text with group agendas that match the resistance level of the group with the group intervention.

He also has a manuscript titled “Crossing the River: Metaphors for Intervening With Resistant Youth, which he hopes will be published within the next year.
