Here we have taken the opportunity to turn the tables, and Dr. Horvath will be the one with the questions.&amp;nbsp;\r\nThere are several areas in which SMART&amp;rsquo;s focus and opinions and those of Dr. Peele differ. For instance, according to W.R.Miller &quot;The best predictors of relapse for people treated for alcohol problems are lack of coping skills and belief in the disease theory of alcoholism.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;Tom focuses on the former, Stanton on the latter.
