There are several significant problems with both Marlatt's and Pithers' relapse prevention (RP) models. It is argued in this paper that there are good empirical, theoretical, and practical reasons for viewing the offense and relapse process as functionally equivalent. The core construct in both these traditionally different models is the problem behavior process. The application of a framework based on the problem behavior process has significant theoretical and clinical advantages and can overcome the major difficulties associated with Marlatt's and Pithers'RP models.

Many conflict studies regard formal democratic institutions as states' most important vehicle to reduce deprivation-motivated armed conflict against their governments. We argue that the wider concept of good governance—the extent to which policy making and implementation benefit the population at large—is better suited to analyze deprivation-based conflict. The article shows that the risk of conflict in countries characterized by good governance drops rapidly after a conflict has ended or after independence. In countries with poor governance, this process takes much longer. Hence, improving governance is important to reduce the incidence of conflict. We also decompose the effect of good governance into what can be explained by formal democratic institutions and less formal aspects of governance, and into what comes from economic development and what is due to how well countries are governed. We find that informal aspects of good governance to be at least as important as formal institutions in preventing conflict and that good governance has a clear effect over and beyond economic development.

This paper argues that the notion of harm reduction can provide a more useful framework for the management of sex offenders. In this model, any reduction in the frequency or intensity of sexual offending is construed as positive. The zero-tolerance position, implicit in the relapse prevention model, has been a conspicuous failure in areas such as drug addiction and alcoholism. One of the major limitations is the equating of relapse with treatment failure. Moreover, managing sex offenders, in the sense of striving to limit socially undesirable behaviors, is a perfectly legitimate aim within the goal of making society safer.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present the first of two articles about substance abuse as a human disorder that defies resolution, with the primary care physician the intended audience.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is about the phenomenon of relapse as an extension of the formation of the underlying addictive‐oriented thinking. Both relapse and acceptance are about the "why" of substance abuse and not the "what."FindingsAccording to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the number of US adults who were classified as having substance dependence or abuse in 2008 based on criteria specified in the DSM‐IV was 22.2 million. Subtract on a mutually exclusive basis the 1.2 million who participate in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the 1.7 million persons who are in some configuration of institutional therapy and this leaves 19.3 million persons as a potential pool of need.Research limitations/implicationsFocusing on the primary care physician is no more trivial than the two topics to be discussed.Social implicationsThe potential pool of need in the USA is much larger than the 19.3 million persons on the strength of what is implied by the to‐be‐developed views of relapse and acceptance as the "why" of substance abuse, as a subset of addictive‐oriented thinking.Originality/valueWhile the paper is in line with the World Health Organization's position that substance abuse is the most serious health problem globally, the advocated approach to the resolution of addiction is the efficiency of the relationship between the primary care physician and the patient.
