Treating Substance Abuse: Theory and Technique

Rotgers, F (Ed.)

Treating Substance Abuse: Theory and Technique - 2nd Ed - New York The Guilford Press - 374

Monograph

The revised and expanded second edition of this widely used clinical resource and text captures the breadth of current knowledge about substance abuse and its treatment. For each of the major contemporary treatment approaches, a chapter on basic assumptions and theories is followed by a chapter bringing clinical applications to life. Expert contributors provide coverage of 12-step, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, marital/family, and motivational approaches, augmented by new chapters on contingency management. Also covered (in a single chapter) are psychopharmacological interventions, which are supported by a growing body of empirical research. Finally, a new concluding chapter demonstrates how the clinician can successfully integrate elements of multiple approaches into carefully planned work with individual clients.
