Treating Alcohol and Drug Problems in Psychotherapy Practice, Second Edition

Více o produktu ↓

Providing a framework for treating substance use disorders (SUDs) in office-based psychotherapy, the second edition of this trusted work has been updated throughout and features two entirely new chapters. The authors show how clinicians from any background can leverage the therapeutic skills they already have to address alcohol and drug problems competently and effectively. Case examples depict ways to engage clients at different stages of change; set collaborative treatment goals; address SUDs concurrently with other psychological problems; and interweave motivational, cognitive-behavioral, and other interventions. Reproducible forms can be downloaded and printed for ease of use.
