I've read "The Small Book" as well. I consider his 1996 book, "Rational Recovery: The New Cure for Substance Addiction" to be far more comprehensive in its coverage of AVRT, though.
The author does change his mind on many positions he previously took, however, relying solely on AVRT, so "The Small Book" is still good if you find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy / REBT useful.
Trimpey now considers "The Small Book" obsolete, having been superseded by "The New Cure," but SMART recovery still uses it.
In any case, I bought a copy of his new book, "The Art of AVRT" which Trimpey is saying is a comprehensive update on AVRT.
I am not sure how much he can improve on AVRT, but given the amount of additional material on it that he provided in his second (1996) book when compared to his previous, I am nevertheless curious.
It should arrive this week. I will post a review of it once I read it.
