Renewal in Clinical Practice: Implications and Mitigation Strategies
摘要
This chapter focuses on the clinical implications of renewal and presents strategies for mitigating its occurrence in applied settings. The authors discuss how subtle contextual changes can trigger relapse even when contingencies remain unchanged. The concept of additive relapse is introduced, referring to the enhanced risk of relapse when context and contingencies change simultaneously. The chapter integrates clinical vignettes and experimental evidence to provide practical guidance for clinicians.
