Treatment Approaches for Alcohol and Drug Dependence: An Introductory Guide, Second Edition (Repost)

The first edition of this book was based upon the recommendations of the Quality Assurance in the Treatment of Drug Dependence Project, and provided a step-by-step-guide for therapists working with clients with alcohol or other drug dependency or misuse. Since publication in 1995 it has become well known for its easy-to-read style and wealth of practical resource materials. However, the evidence in the field has moved forward in the last eight years, creating a need for an updated edition. Retaining the trademark easy-to-use, up-to-date style, the Second Edition offers new chapters on pharmacotherapies, case management, young people, and dual diagnosis. Other chapters have been updated to reflect the latest research findings and current practice, and the practice sheets and client handouts are made available online for downloading and customization by therapists.Content: Chapter 1 General Counselling Skills (pages 3–18): Chapter 2 Assessment (pages 19–43): Chapter 3 Motivational Interviewing (pages 45–61): Chapter 4 Goal Setting (pages 63–75): Chapter 5 Brief and Early Interventions (pages 79–94): Chapter 6 Problem?Solving Skills (pages 95–102): Chapter 7 Drink and Drug Refusal Skills (pages 103–106): Chapter 8 Assertiveness Skills (pages 103–119): Chapter 9 Communication Skills (pages 118–127): Chapter 10 Cognitive Therapy.
