Hachette Books Not Drinking Tonight A Guide to Creating a Sober
Book SynopsisWhen retired party girl and popular therapist Amanda White admitted she was an alcoholic, it wasn''t because she''d done something outrageous while under the influence, like land herself in jail or get married in Vegas. It was because she realized three things: 1. Alcohol was making her life worse. 2. Moderation wasn''t helping. 3. She could not be a therapist if she continued to use alcohol to numb her life. Something needed to change-not just her relationship with alcohol, but her relationship with herself.Choosing not to drink can be daunting. It''s everywhere in our culture, our socializing, and our destressing. And it can seem black or white: you drink, or you don''t (and if you don''t, people ask why). That''s where Not Drinking Tonight comes in. Judgement-free and relatable, Amanda helps you unpack your relationship with alcohol by showing you how to:1) Find out why you drink. Whether it''s a glass of wine after work or a weekly bar crawl, your d

Random House USA Inc Never Enough
Book SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From a renowned behavioral neuroscientist and recovering addict, a rare page-turning work of science that draws on personal insights to reveal how drugs work, the dangerous hold they can take on the brain, and the surprising way to combat today's epidemic of addiction.Judith Grisel was a daily drug user and college dropout when she began to consider that her addiction might have a cure, one that she herself could perhaps discover by studying the brain. Now, after twenty-five years as a neuroscientist, she shares what she and other scientists have learned about addiction, enriched by captivating glimpses of her personal journey. In Never Enough, Grisel reveals the unfortunate bottom line of all regular drug use: there is no such thing as a free lunch. All drugs act on the brain in a way that diminishes their enjoyable effects and creates unpleasant ones with repeated use. Yet they have their appeal, and Grisel draws on anecdotes both comic and tragic from her own days of using as she limns the science behind the love of various drugs, from marijuana to alcohol, opiates to psychedelics, speed to spice. With more than one in five people over the age of fourteen addicted, drug abuse has been called the most formidable health problem worldwide, and Grisel delves with compassion into the science of this scourge. She points to what is different about the brains of addicts even before they first pick up a drink or drug, highlights the changes that take place in the brain and behavior as a result of chronic using, and shares the surprising hidden gifts of personality that addiction can expose. She describes what drove her to addiction, what helped her recover, and her belief that a “cure” for addiction will not be found in our individual brains but in the way we interact with our communities. Set apart by its color, candor, and bell-clear writing, Never Enough is a revelatory look at the roles drugs play in all of our lives and offers crucial new insight into how we can solve the epidemic of abuse.

Guilford Publications Clinical Guide to Alcohol Treatment
Book SynopsisThis book is the first complete guide to implementing the Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA), an empirically based, highly effective cognitive-behavioral program for treating alcohol problems. An ideal program for any practitioner trying to reconcile the needs of their clients with mandates of HMOs and insurance providers, this approach has been deemed one of the most cost-effective treatments available by recent research. CRA acknowledges the powerful role of environmental contingencies in encouraging or discouraging drinking, and attempts to rearrange these contingencies so that a non-drinking lifestyle is more rewarding than a drinking one. Unique in its breadth, the approach utilizes social, recreational, familial, and vocational strategies to aid clients in the recovery process. This authoritative manual is a hands-on guide to applying these therapeutic procedures.Opening with an account of the history of CRA and the empirical support for its efficacy, the book addrTrade ReviewI am impressed. This volume does an excellent job of describing the Community Reinforcement Approach in an effective manner. Offering a good balance between theoretical and hands-on clinical information, the work is an outstanding practical guide to treating problem drinking using the community reinforcement approach. --Stephen T. Higgins, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Psychiatry & Psychology, University of VermontThis volume addresses a need in the literature, and will be of great assistance in program planning and implementation. The authors have tailored the best available research and information on the community reinforcement approach into a state-of-the-art treatment program that will be invaluable to practicing clinicians and program managers who are looking for cost-effective, efficacious treatments. --David S. Timken, Ph.D.This book is the kind of work that builds bridges, and finally allows the findings of years of careful clinical research to be applied in everyday practice. --from the foreword by William R. Miller, Ph.D.I recommend this book to therapists and researchers who are interested in the community reinforcement approach to treating alcohol problems. In addition to detailed descriptions of a wide variety of specific treatment methods, the book provides numerous therapist-client dialogues or scripts illustrating the clinical implementation of this material. --G. Alan Marlatt, Ph.D., Director, Addictive Behaviors Research Center, University of WashingtonClinical Guide to Alcohol Treatment presents a comprehensive and compelling review of the Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) for the treatment of substance problems, including both alcohol and cocaine abuse/dependence. From reviewing the literature on the earliest CRA trials dating back over twenty years to presenting an update on current CRA trials, this book clearly makes the case that CRA works. But the book goes far beyond a review of the literature. Its primary focus is on both assessment and how to do CRA therapy. In these respects it is very user-friendly. Not only will interested readers learn how to do CRA, they will learn how not to do CRA therapy in a useful chapter that focuses on common problems in implementing CRA. In a very real sense, this book is long overdue since CRA is perhaps one of the earliest successful applications of social learning theory. Clinical Guide to Alcohol Treatment should be useful for counselors and therapists who strive to provide the most effective treatments to their clients and for all students of social learning theory interested in effective applications. --Peter M. Monti, Ph.D., Brown University Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies - The 'Community Reinforcement Approach' (CRA)...is an idea whose time has clearly come....CRA operates from a disarmingly straight forward approach, which is probably more immediately accessible to clients than many forms of psychotherapy....The dialogues are pithy, illustrative, and pleasantly pointed....As I was reading, I could immediately think of a number of ideas that I could incorporate into everyday practice, whether or not I should ever adopt CRA....Its extensive appendices are lucid and cogent documentation of the instruments CRA employs. Even the price is right for the quality of the work. Run right out and buy it.

Random House USA Inc An Anatomy of Addiction
Book SynopsisAcclaimed medical historian Howard Markel traces the careers of two brilliant young doctors—Sigmund Freud, neurologist, and William Halsted, surgeon—showing how their powerful addictions to cocaine shaped their enormous contributions to psychology and medicine. When Freud and Halsted began their experiments with cocaine in the 1880s, neither they, nor their colleagues, had any idea of the drug's potential to dominate and endanger their lives. An Anatomy of Addiction tells the tragic and heroic story of each man, accidentally struck down in his prime by an insidious malady: tragic because of the time, relationships, and health cocaine forced each to squander; heroic in the intense battle each man waged to overcome his affliction. Markel writes of the physical and emotional damage caused by the then-heralded wonder drug, and how each man ultimately changed the world in spite of it—or because of it. One became the father of psychoanalysis; the other, of modern surgery. Here is the full story, long overlooked, told in its rich historical context.

Guilford Publications Contingency Management for Adolescent Substance
Book SynopsisThis practical manual is based on extensive research and the collaboration of hundreds of community-based therapists. It provides step-by-step guidelines for implementing contingency management (CM)âone of the most effective treatments for substance abuseâwith adolescents and their caregivers. Strategies are detailed for assessing substance use disorders, developing individualized cognitive and behavioral interventions, using behavioral contracts and contingencies to reinforce abstinence, and overcoming frequently encountered treatment roadblocks. Extensive sample dialogues illustrate what CM looks like in action. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes more than three dozen reproducible handouts, checklists, and forms.Trade Review"This is the first book to provide detailed, pragmatic guidelines for implementing contingency management (CM) with this population. CM is highly efficacious for treating substance use disorders and can be integrated with virtually any other form of therapy, including cognitive-behavioral and family interventions. Filled with worksheets and real-life examples, the book will help therapists apply CM within a comprehensive adolescent treatment program."--Nancy M. Petry, PhD, Professor of Medicine, UConn Health "An instructive, practical, and hands-on guide. The manual is well grounded in principles of behavioral management and cognitive-behavior therapy, as well as a clear understanding of the myriad factors that support adolescent drug use. Contingency management is uniquely well suited to treating adolescent drug use, making this manual a 'must' for anyone who works with/m-/or is training to work with--this population of youths and their families."--Maxine Stitzer, PhD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine"Contingency management is an evidence-based treatment that aims to ameliorate risk factors and constructively facilitate teens' efforts to lead drug-free lives. It is based on proven behavioral and cognitive-behavioral principles. This book is a godsend for practitioners seeking a comprehensive manual with step-by-step instructions for treating teens with substance use problems."--Michael Windle, PhD, Rollins Endowed Professor, Department of Behavioral Sciences and Health Education, Emory University "A terrific contribution to the field. Henggeler and his associates combine an excellent review of CM for substance abuse with a wonderful how-to guide for clinicians who want to implement this efficacious treatment method with adolescents. The reader is walked through the process step by step: why to use CM, how to get started, how to talk about the approach with clients, and how to avoid pitfalls and overcome challenges. This book will be extraordinarily helpful for clinicians and for the adolescents and families they treat."--Roger D. Weiss, MD, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School; Chief, Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse, McLean Hospital "While other CM books are available, this is the only one that specifically targets adolescent substance abuse. The book is ideally suited for the busy clinician in that it is light on theory and heavy on practical, tangible applications and solutions. Henggeler and colleagues have provided a wealth of resources, including suggested therapist tasks; troubleshooting tips; checklists, forms, and handouts; and sample dialogues. This book is an excellent choice for practitioners interested in implementing CM with their clients. In addition, it would serve well as a supplemental text in graduate courses on adolescent treatment or substance abuse treatment."--Brian E.

This book will be useful not only for practitioners but also as a text for classroom learners."--Avram H. Mack, MD, Associate Chair for Quality and Safety, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia"All substance abuse treatment professionals trying to ensure that the treatments they deliver are current, science based, and empirically supported should read this book. Chapters highlight the unique concepts and strategies of each approach and, even more important, describe how to integrate different approaches into comprehensive, multicomponent treatment programming. I especially appreciate the third edition's more integrative focus on biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions of the treatments, and the discussions of how to integrate pharmacotherapy and case management into psychosocial treatments. As we strive to make substance abuse treatments more effective and accountable, we are fortunate to have a volume providing guidance for understanding and implementing the best treatment strategies the field has to offer."--Carlo C. DiClemente, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychology (Emeritus), University of Maryland, Baltimore County"This text is an excellent choice for upper-division undergraduate or first-year graduate courses on addictions. It provides a balanced perspective across diverse theoretically informed models of practice; traditional and contemporary perspectives are equally honored. Highlights of the third edition include additional psychopharmacology material and a complementary chapter on the biology of addictions."--Timothy B. Conley, PhD, School of Social Work, University of Montana "This ideal text and clinical guide focuses on evidence-based psychological and pharmacological interventions.

Levant, EdD, ABPP, Department of Psychology, University of Akron; past president, American Psychological Association "You have to be robust to work well in front-line mental health services. This book is a companion, and a very valuable one. It builds bridges, clarifies commonalities across treatments, and helps you to approach complex scenarios with awareness of what might make a difference to the lives of people from diverse backgrounds. The authors are champions of compassionate and competent practice. This book is a considerable achievement."--Stephen Rollnick, PhD, School of Medicine, Cardiff University, Wales, United Kingdom -The authors have brought together their many years of clinical experience and clinical wisdom….This book gives many helpful hints and, through its case examples, provides support, guidance, and increased sensitivity to the many challenging issues faced by therapists. This book can certainly find a place in graduate programs in clinical psychology, community psychology, and social work, especially in those programs that focus on service delivery in urban and other disadvantaged settings.--Child and Family Behavior Therapy, 6/26/2014ƒƒA well-written text designed to assist therapists working in a diversity of settings with clients from diverse backgrounds and having concerns ranging from mental illness, substance abuse, family issues, and interventions in schools, to well-being. The book covers the leading therapies, guiding principles, and best practices in the field today. Therapy in the Real World is a thoughtful volume that integrates a great deal of useful information that the average clinician will have some occasion to access. It is an easy read, with something for mental health practitioners across varied disciplines. I recommend it as a solid addition to a reference library. This is a good introductory text for classes designed to provide a broad overview of clinical practice. Clinical supervisors will want to share the chapters on risk assessment and suicide prevention, crisis intervention, and clinician self-care with their supervisees.--PsycCRITIQUES, 1/13/2014ƒƒIt is a highly applied book, containing a significant number of real-life case examples, making it a very useful guide for students as well as beginning and more seasoned clinicians. The book is very accessible and comfortably combines theory and practice....Abundantly and masterfully illustrated with vignettes that help ground theoretical approaches in the real world of clinical practice. Special attention is given to multicultural aspects and to work with marginalized populations, a very important aspect of working in the real world….I appreciate the pragmatisms of this work, the structure around clinical processes, and the emphasis on diversity issues as well as work with disadvantaged populations. Also, the discussion of self-care of therapists and supervision is a welcome one. These aspects are very important in clinical practice, but are not necessarily addressed in textbooks.

Guilford Publications Finding Your Way to Change
Book SynopsisAre you tired of being told by others--self-help books included--what you should do? Drs. Allan Zuckoff and Bonnie Gorscak understand. That's why this book is different.Trade Review"This brilliant book guides you through a journey of discovery in that most intimate and difficult relationship--the one with yourself. Stories of others who have made the trek illustrate the challenges of being stuck in a problem that seems intractable, the way through the mire, and the joy of emerging on the other side. The book offers not only the promise of change, but also the ability to sustain it."--David B. Rosengren, PhD, Prevention Research Institute "Changing our behaviors is a journey with lots of twists and turns. Including compassionate stories of people facing different challenges and problems, this book guides you to deal with ambivalence, find confidence, overcome false starts, handle well-meaning advice and nagging, and make personally meaningful decisions and plans. It provides great tools for achieving and sustaining changes in your life."--Carlo C. DiClemente, PhD, ABPP, coauthor ofChanging for Good "If you've ever said to yourself, 'I really want to change, but I just can't seem to do it,' you need to read this excellent book. Dr. Zuckoff knows that there are powerful forces within us that can sabotage our good intentions and best-laid plans. He gives you practical, scientifically grounded tools to help you understand why you're spinning your wheels and how to productively work through it."--Henny Westra, PhD, CPsych, Department of Psychology, York University, Canada "A friend suggested that I read this book when she learned I was considering a career change. It provided me with a useful toolkit for considering what I want to do next, based on my own deep-seated interests and visions of my professional life. The concepts and techniques are easy to grasp. Previously, I tried to make difficult decisions by listing the pros and cons--this book offers a more sophisticated and thoughtful approach."--John F. "A lucid roadmap for those struggling to make changes in their lives, this book uses a scientifically proven approach to help you move forward from feeling stuck to creating a plan of action. Written exercises encourage reflection and self-discovery and help you explore your ambivalence, goals, and dilemmas. Superb examples of five easy-to-relate-to people making important changes accompany you through the process."--Holly A. Swartz, MD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine “This book is a compassionate companion that helps you draw on your strengths and proceed at your own pace to unlock your capacity for change. It provides a nonjudgmental, step-by-step approach that can lead you to take brave new actions that fulfill your needs."--Nancy K. Grote, PhD, School of Social Work, University of Washington "Plenty of self-help books offer great ideas about how to make changes, but most are missing the most obvious and important ingredient--intrinsic motivation. Decades of research have proven that if we are not internally motivated to change, all the help in the world won't make a difference. Dr. Zuckoff provides the missing link in the world of personal growth. This book is a gem."--Joel Porter, PsyD, Clinical Director, Lives Lived Well, Brisbane, Australia; member, Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) "I am thrilled that MI is now readily accessible to all in a practical, step-by-step format. The book reminds us that the most powerful force for change resides within each of us, and uses thought-provoking exercises to unleash this power. For anyone facing a difficult decision or need for personal change, this book offers a way forward."--Sandy Downey, MS, LPC, psychotherapist, Harrisonburg, Virginia "This book is designed to help you get unstuck from ambivalence and move ahead with positive changes you might choose to make in your life….The authors do not dispense quick tricks or promise to give you something that you lack. Rather they help you find that which you already have within you and draw out your own motivations for and wisdom about change. Change in the face of ambivalence is a very common human predicament. We applaud the authors for translating the science and practice of MI into a useful skills-based book for anyone who wants to find his or her way to change."--from the Foreword by William R. Miller, PhD, and Stephen Rollnick, PhD "The method in this book can fuel the fire of change and help you move from despair to positive action. The exercises are wonderful. The book helped me think differently about a dilemma in my own life, and I found myself reading parts of it to a friend who came to me for advice."--Theresa B. Moyers, PhD, Department of Psychology and Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse, and Addictions, University of New Mexico -One of the most empathetic books on the subject of altering behaviors. The authors allow for failures and offer alternatives. Recommended.--Library Journal, 05/15/2015Table of ContentsForeword,William R. Miller & Stephen Rollnick Prelude: Considering Change I.

Guilford Publications Treating Women with Substance Use Disorders
Book SynopsisFilling a crucial need, this manual presents the Women's Recovery Group (WRG), an empirically supported treatment approach that emphasizes self-care and developing skills for relapse prevention and recovery. Grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy, the WRG is designed for a broad population of women with alcohol and drug use disorders, regardless of their specific substance of abuse, age, or co-occurring disorders. Step-by-step intervention guidelines are accompanied by 80 reproducible clinical tools, including participant handouts, session outlines, bulletin board materials, and more. The large-size format facilitates photocopying; purchasers also get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.Trade Review"Greenfield has done an extraordinary job of using scientific findings to inform the treatment approach delineated in this well-organized, well-written book. This is an in-depth guide from a world-renowned authority. I highly recommend this book to therapists and counselors working in this area."--Kathleen T. Brady, MD, PhD, Distinguished University Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Medical University of South Carolina "Women with substance use disorders have unique and challenging needs, and face specific barriers and obstacles to achieving recovery. This manual provides a wealth of information on the WRG, the first evidence-based treatment that is truly designed for all women with substance use disorders. The handouts will help clinicians organize groups and successfully implement the material."--Sudie E. Back, PhD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Medical University of South Carolina "This book fills a key niche by providing a manual for women’s treatment that is evidence based and deeply informed by clinical experience. It is rich in guidelines and strategies to help clinicians intervene effectively. A comprehensive synthesis of the research is translated into practical interventions in a manner that can be used with diverse populations. Its format is adaptable to a wide range of treatment settings. This is a wonderful resource for treatment centers and for graduate and professional training programs."--Joan E. Zweben, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Francisco; staff psychologist, San Francisco VA Medical Center "Greenfield, a national expert in the addiction treatment field, offers an excellent and practical approach to moving women with substance use disorders toward recovery. This book answers a vitally important question: How do we address the unique gender-specific issues that addicted women confront, which are so often slighted in clinical settings? It is a resource that will enhance the clinical skills of both trainees and established professionals."--Marc Galanter, MD, Director, Division of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, New York University School of Medicine -Greenfield created a research-based women's recovery group manual that can be used by a wide variety of practitioners….Strong points include a section in which she describes and succinctly summarizes research studies that led to the creation of the manual (so the reader is not forced to look up all of the relevant research articles), the ability to tailor sessions based on specific problem areas or client needs, flexibility to use the manual with individual clients (rather than with groups) when needed, and an assortment of client worksheets and session outlines that quickly eases the new practitioner into comfortably using the materials….Overall, this is a well-produced manual, based on many years of empirical research by the author and her colleagues and repeatedly field-tested. The materials provided and the skills required also make this treatment protocol useful to many types of professionals--from psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, and psychologists to front-line drug and alcohol counselors. The easy-to-read yet descriptive layout for each session is likely to increase the possibility that group leaders will be willing to try this treatment protocol and that they could quickly feel comfortable using the program. Additional handouts can be downloaded from the publisher's website, which also enhances ease of use….Greenfield's approach to mixing together data-driven work and presenting it in a pragmatic and efficient way to treatment providers is admirable. Client satisfaction data also suggest this new approach may be useful and life-enhancing for participants. As a psychologist who teaches and supervises graduate students, and who often works with female clients, I will certainly be recommending this book on a regular basis. It is a welcome addition to a small number of simple treatment manuals.--Sex Roles, 6/26/2017ƒƒShelly Greenfield has…provided a great resource for work with this population. She has, in a very clear and concise way, laid out for the practitioner the issues unique to women struggling with chemical abuse and dependency. She exhibits an exemplary understanding of the ongoing issues that a woman attempting recovery faces including the impact of life-cycle changes….This book provides the understanding and a structured group modality to bring in the very issues that need to be addressed for women to get clean and maintain their recovery….Provides group facilitators with a useful tool to engage women in treatment….A well-thought-out and well-organized manual that offers a good understanding of key issues and the tools to address them.--Social Work with Groups, 12/19/2017ƒƒThis book fills an important niche, providing a session-by-session roadmap for the treatment of women that is evidence based and emphasizes self care and developing skills for relapse prevention and recovery….This book is designed for therapists who treat women with alcohol and drug use disorders. It is also appropriate for healthcare clinicians considering developing programs specifically for women and wanting to understand gender-specific challenges that women face.--Doody's Review Service, 9/23/2016Table of ContentsI.

Guilford Publications Therapy in the Real World
Book SynopsisHelping beginning and experienced therapists cope with the myriad challenges of working in agencies, clinics, hospitals, and private practice, this book distills the leading theories and best practices in the field. The authors provide a clear approach to engaging diverse clients and building rapport; interweaving evidence-based techniques to meet therapeutic goals; and intervening effectively with individuals, families, groups, and larger systems. Practitioners will find tools for addressing the needs of their clients while caring for themselves and avoiding burnout; students will find a clear-headed framework for making use of the variety of approaches available in mental health practice.Trade Review"This groundbreaking book is a powerful and extremely relevant discussion of the real world of clinical practice today. It is a necessary addition to the library of every experienced and early career therapist and mental health practitioner. The book is also an excellent text for graduate-level courses seeking to provide students with a thorough overview of the mental health field."--Joseph L. White, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Psychiatry, University of California, Irvine "Boyd-Franklin and her colleagues have written a landmark book that, for the first time, brings together multiple therapeutic modalities, multiculturalism, evidence-based practice, and recommendations for therapist self-care, in a highly accessible, engaging style. The volume provides therapists with the empirical basis for therapeutic interventions and with practical guidance for implementation. Both beginning and experienced therapists working in the real world will breathe a sigh of relief for the integration and wisdom the authors provide. I will use this as a core text in my family and couple therapy courses at the master's and doctoral levels."--Peter Fraenkel, PhD, Department of Psychology, The City College of the City University of New York "This extremely helpful book offers practitioners a readable and comprehensive primer for current, culturally sensitive clinical practice. It incorporates a strong focus on dealing with the diversity of the cases that present for mental health services. And it makes accessible for marginalized populations the latest modalities: cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness- and acceptance-based approaches, motivational interviewing, recovery approaches, and others. Outstanding case examples illustrate ways to effectively counter societal discontinuities and fragmented services for multi-needs clients. The guidelines for supervision and therapist self-care are clear and useful. This is a book that all those entering the profession will want to have as a guide."--Monica McGoldrick, LCSW, PhD (h.c.), Director, Multicultural Family Institute, Highland Park, New Jersey "Eminently accessible, this volume distills the research and information needed to provide the highest quality clinical services. The book will improve your work with clients, whether you are navigating the complexities of public care or maintaining a private practice. It includes essential guidance for addressing crises and trauma and understanding clients from diverse backgrounds. A 'must read' for mental health clinicians, supervisors, and trainees."--Ronald F.

Book SynopsisIf you are struggling to help a loved one recover from addiction--and to cope with the devastating impact on the whole family--you are not alone. But until now, there has been no single book that gives the millions of families like yours the comprehensive, unbiased information you need. This expertly written guide addresses the painful questions that spouses, parents, and grown children face every day. Why do addicts make such bad choices? How can you find (and afford) treatment that works--and convince your loved one to try it? Can relapse be prevented? When does being supportive cross the line to enabling? Providing science-based answers and resources, the authors cover crucial emotional, financial, and legal issues that simply aren't discussed in other books. The more your family knows about the myths and realities of addiction, the better equipped you will be to overcome it.Trade Review"Employing sensible, reader-friendly language, the authors give us a comprehensive, evidence-based primer on addictions, the challenges they pose for individuals and families, and the many treatment modalities currently available."--Gabor Maté, MD, author of In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction "Wow, someone finally gets it! As an addict with 13 years in recovery, this book gives me so much insight into addiction, codependency, and what I put my family through. It also reminds me what people did that helped me, and what didn't help. Every family member or friend of an addict should read this book! It brought back a lot of pain for me, but is so accurate and enlightening. It will help you save your loved one without ruining yourself in the process."--Taffy L., San Rafael, California "This greatly needed book is packed with invaluable information for loved ones of people who struggle with addiction. Often lost and left by the wayside in addiction treatment, families are now taken by the hand and offered understandable explanations of complex concepts, presented in an unbiased way. The book's compendium of resources is remarkable."--Anne M. Fletcher, MS, RDN, author of Inside Rehab and Sober for Good "Accessible and comprehensive, this book equips you with the latest understanding of the shattering challenges of addiction. Whether it is your grown child, spouse, or other loved one who is afflicted, this book reveals the best ways to offer support."--Robert Miranda Jr., PhD, Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Brown University “I strongly recommend this book to all families who are struggling to help a loved one with an addiction. I wish I'd had this book when I first started to realize that my son had a problem. The book explains the chemical changes in the brain that cause our loved ones to continue abuse, and gives us insight on how their thought process is altered. There is invaluable information on how to find support groups, financial aid for treatment, and the best treatment facilities. This book has brought me great peace by giving me a better understanding of my son's addiction and his journey to recovery."--Robin S., Atlanta, Georgia "If you care about someone with an addiction, this is the book you need. Families and friends often spend months or years of frustration trying to figure out what addiction is and what they can do about it. This highly practical book cuts right to the chase--explaining the most current research and clinical experience in plain English--and tells you everything you need to know."--Joseph P. Scholl, LICSW, attending social worker, McLean Hospital "Families who are knowledgeable about addiction and its treatment are in a better position to help the person they love. Without 'taking sides,' this easy-to-understand book describes a wide range of treatment approaches and provides useful suggestions and strategies for dealing with common issues. As an addiction treatment specialist, I found many useful ideas for educating my clients and their families."--Oscar G.

Guilford Publications Finding Your Best Self Revised Edition
Book SynopsisAddiction and trauma are two of the most common and difficult issues that people face. In this motivating book, leading expert Lisa Najavits explains the link between addiction and trauma and presents science-based self-help strategies that you can use no matter where you are in your recovery.Trade Review"This is a terrific book. Lucid and eminently practical, it summarizes what Dr. Najavits has learned helps patients in over three decades of practice and research. Page upon page, she helps you confront what is going on inside of yourself. It’s a step-by-step road to recovery from the enslavement of trauma and addiction. This is the sort of book you put by your bedside to visit over and over again as a guide to dealing with numbing, addiction, the secrets you try to keep from yourself, and underlying issues. I cannot recommend this book highly enough."--Bessel A. van der Kolk, MD, author of The Body Keeps the Score "In 13 years of recovery in AA, I often heard the refrain 'I never got the instruction manual on life.' Well, this book by Lisa Najavits might just be the only instruction book on recovery you’ll ever need! It shines with a fresh perspective, jargon-free writing, and vivid personal inspiration in an overpopulated field."--Frank F., New York City "Many times in AA (or 'the rooms'), I have heard someone say, 'It’s the language of the heart; what comes from the heart reaches the heart.' This work exemplifies that thought while also staying true to itself with structure and advice for addicts and trauma survivors. But more than going through the steps of recovery, Dr. Najavits shows how to do so with dignity and pride in what you may accomplish. I never felt alone while reading this book."--David T., Washington, DC "In this remarkable book, Dr. Najavits speaks to diverse audiences in a way that is clear, practical, and deeply engaging. She offers an unflinching look at the challenges of working on trauma and addiction, while always conveying a message of hope. People struggling with either or both issues will find a path to improve their life. Professionals too can use this as a companion to therapy, allowing patients to extend their efforts through a flexible but carefully structured process."--Joan E. Zweben, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Francisco; staff psychologist, San Francisco VA Medical Center "A welcome contribution. Dr. Najavits provides a comprehensive framework for recovery. She has woven her extensive clinical experience with the voices of people in recovery to create a rich resource."--Stephanie S.

Guilford Publications On Second Thought
Book SynopsisThe rich inner world of a human being is far more complex than either/or. You can love and hate, want to go and want to stay, feel both joy and sadness. Psychologist William Miller--one of the world's leading experts on the science of change--offers a fresh perspective on ambivalence and its transformative potential in this revealing book. Rather than trying to overcome indecision by force of will, Dr. Miller explores what happens when people allow opposing arguments from their inner committee members to converse freely with each other. Learning to tolerate and even welcome feelings of ambivalence can help you get unstuck from unwanted habits, clarify your desires and values, explore the pros and cons of tough decisions, and open doorways to change. Vivid examples from everyday life, literature, and history illustrate why we are so often of two minds, and how to work through it.Trade Review"This is the definitive read on mixed feelings: why we have them, how to change them, and when to accept them. Dr. Miller is a trailblazer in psychology--he combines a scientist’s expertise with a therapist’s empathy, and I have no ambivalence about recommending his book. His wisdom will stay with you long after you’ve finished the last page.”--Adam Grant, PhD, author of Think Again "I love the way Dr. Miller uses personal stories to show that ambivalence isn't just an abstract phenomenon; it is essential to decision making. Anyone who reads this remarkable book will quickly begin to apply its content to their own life, from pivotal turning points at different junctures in their past to choices they need to make today."--Don Kuhl, MS, Founder, The Change Companies "Dr. Miller skillfully integrates psychological knowledge about ambivalence with delightful examples from literature, theater, history, business, and more. This book offers evidence-based tools for how to examine ambivalence, whether your own or someone else's. Dr. Miller demystifies ambivalence in order to help you make decisions aligned with your values and interests, and move forward with desired changes in your life."--Naomi B. Rothman, PhD, Department of Management, Lehigh University "Reflecting Dr. Miller's expertise and his passion for understanding the human condition, this book takes a deep dive into human decision making. When our choices are loaded with implications, ambivalence can be stressful or even paralyzing. But we can also learn from it. Dr. Miller explains that ambivalence is a virtue, and invites us to think about it in productive new ways."--Molly Magill, LICSW, PhD, Brown University School of Public Health "This is the first book to dive deeply into ambivalence, a basic human condition that every helping professional must learn to address. The book provides concrete examples of what different types of ambivalence look like, so that providers can learn to lean into ambivalence with exploration instead of overlooking it until behavior change is stymied. Miller's unique approach is transtheoretical and practical, providing a useful guide for clinical practice in many domains and contexts. I highly recommend this book for all practitioners hoping to maximize their clients' (and their own) human potential."--Sylvie Naar, PhD, Distinguished Endowed Professor, Department of Behavioral Sciences and Social Medicine, College of Medicine, and Director, Center for Translational Behavioral Science, Florida State University-Table of ContentsI.

Guilford Publications Treating Alcohol and Drug Problems in
Book SynopsisProviding 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 clients' alcohol and drug problems competently and effectively. Vivid case examples demonstrate 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, tailored to each individual's needs. Reproducible forms and handouts can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2 x 11 size. New to This Edition *Chapter on evidence-based principles and interventions. *Chapter on moderation-focused alcohol treatment. *Revised throughout with current data, clinical techniques, and exTrade Review"The second edition takes what was already a pragmatic clinical text and offers key updates related to client-centered care, harm reduction, and evidence-based adjunctive pharmacotherapies. This is a book written by therapists for therapists. It provides the perfect combination of clinical wisdom and science-based recommendations."--Molly Magill, LICSW, PhD, Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences, Brown University School of Public Health "As a trainer of mental health practitioners, I highly recommend this book. Washton and Zweben offer a foundational approach to individualized treatment that is engaging and humane and that meets people 'where they are' with nonstigmatizing language and a harm reduction mindset. Readers will understand how office-based treatments are an effective and accessible piece of the SUDs treatment continuum. For the novice or seasoned clinician, this book offers a menu of options for integrative care that will immediately inform clinical work with complex, co-occurring challenges, particularly those associated with the opioid epidemic."--Mark S. Woodford, PhD, Department of Counselor Education, The College of New Jersey "A remarkably practical and down-to-earth guide for working with SUDs, which vex even the most experienced clinicians. Washton and Zweben bypass the politics and rhetoric and instead focus on what really matters: doing what works! This book is a true gem for practitioners wanting to know what to do in session that actually helps their clients address this challenging issue."--Diane R. Gehart, PhD, Professor and Program Coordinator, Marriage and Family Therapy, California State University, Northridge "I have assigned this book as the primary text for a master's-level Substance Use Disorders course and a postgraduate certificate program for master's- and doctoral-level students. I could not find another text that was as practical and realistic about the dilemmas of working with clients with SUDs. The second edition retains all the strengths of the first--such as optimism about the possibility of recovery, centrality of the therapeutic relationship, detailed clinical guidance, value placed on a range of treatments--while incorporating important new material. The authors' approach to relapse prevention contains a rich understanding of what pulls people back into using drugs and ways to interrupt this cycle."--Maryann Amodeo, PhD, MSW, LICSW, Professor Emerita and Former Co-Director, Center for Addictions Research and Services, School of Social Work, Boston University-Table of ContentsI.

Guilford Publications The CRAFT Treatment Manual for Substance Use
Book SynopsisPacked with practical tools, this authoritative manual offers a complete guide to implementing the evidence-based Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) program. Jane Ellen Smith and Robert J. Meyers have spent decades developing and refining their approach for helping concerned significant others (CSOs) of treatment-refusing individuals with substance use problems.

The volume features step-by-step implementation guidelines, case examples, sample dialogues, troubleshooting tips, and 28 reproducible forms and handouts that can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2 x 11 size.Trade Review"CRAFT is menu-driven but flexible and client centered. It offers a tailored approach to reducing the stress and self-blame of CSOs and helping them communicate and interact more effectively with their loved one. Smith and Meyers provide a host of tools and strategies, as well as realistic therapist-client dialogues that highlight key concepts. This manual will be very useful for any practitioner who works with family and friends of individuals experiencing substance use disorders. It provides a complete picture of the science and practice of this well-established, innovative approach. Trainers and educators of practitioners could use the manual and the rich clinical examples to help students understand CSOs' concerns and conflicts. "--Carlo C. DiClemente, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychology (Emeritus), University of Maryland, Baltimore County "In this era of tragic overdose deaths, families need more than knowledge and boundaries. They need skills to help their loved one seek treatment, to reduce the loved one’s substance use, and to improve their own quality of life. Smith and Meyers harness decades of research in a practical and easy-to-apply format, designed to uplift concerned families everywhere to become a part of the solution."--Joseph Lee, MD, President and CEO, Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation "A crucial addition to the addiction treatment toolkit. CRAFT provides evidence-based skills for CSOs to cope with their loved one’s substance use and to help the loved one initiate treatment. All of the tools needed for implementing the approach are embedded in this manual. The sample dialogues in every chapter are unusually helpful; they are informative and easy to absorb, and contain masterful clinician material. The reproducible informational handouts, worksheets, and therapy fidelity checklists also will be very useful for everyone from clinicians-in-training to seasoned therapists."--Elizabeth Epstein, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School "What you have in this volume from Bob Meyers and Jane Ellen Smith is seasoned professional advice from the very psychologists who have grown and tested the CRAFT approach, based on their decades of clinical experience and research. CRAFT has been successfully delivered in individual, group, and even self-directed formats. The procedures are specific and learnable, offering hope and change for distressed families who are wondering what to do. It is also very rewarding work, with some of the most motivated clients you will ever see--the CSOs themselves. We who go into helping professions hope that we can contribute to the alleviation of suffering in the world, and here is a very practical and effective way to do it."--from the Foreword by William R.

Guilford Publications Rethinking Substance Abuse: What the Science
Book SynopsisWhile knowledge on substance abuse and addictions is expanding rapidly, clinical practice still lags behind. This state-of-the-art book brings together leading experts to describe what treatment and prevention would look like if it were based on the best science available. The volume incorporates developmental, neurobiological, genetic, behavioral, and social–environmental perspectives. Tightly edited chapters summarize current thinking on the nature and causes of alcohol and other drug problems; discuss what works at the individual, family, and societal levels; and offer robust principles for developing more effective treatments and services.Trade Review"This book is an important contribution to our understanding of how to apply substance use research to treatment, prevention, and policy. Preeminent researchers have written chapters that focus on their respective areas of expertise. Each chapter provides a concise picture of the research activities currently underway in the area at hand and summarizes current findings. All of the important domains of research on substance use problems are covered. McLellan provides a compelling critique of the current treatment system, arguing that it is not capable of incorporating evidence-based practices. Miller and Carroll propose a radical restructuring of the now largely segregated substance abuse prevention and treatment system so that it becomes integrated into the health and mental health systems. All those interested in substance use policy should read this book."--Daniel Yalisove, PhD, Department of Psychology and Addiction Studies Program, John Jay College of Criminal Justice"Two thought leaders in substance abuse have done a remarkable service for clinicians and researchers: they have put together a distillation of what research has taught about the nature of addiction and its treatment. This volume is well focused, comprehensive, and quite readable."--Marc Galanter, MD, Department of Psychiatry and Division of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, New York University School of Medicine"If you teach about substance use and abuse, as I do, you and your students will greatly value this book. Like other exemplary volumes that review what we know about substance abuse, it offers state-of-the-art overviews of biological, psychological, and social factors in and treatments for substance abuse. But it also does a good deal more. Above all, the book anticipates important future developments and weighs them for their impact on prevention and treatment. Since the editors and contributors are leading authorities on these matters, this is a book that can be taken seriously."--Peter E. Nathan, PhD, Department of Psychology and Department of Community and Behavioral Health, University of Iowa"This is a rare book in the addictions field. It assembles the most up-to-date scientific knowledge in the social and biological sciences to advance the field with regard to the etiology, prevention, and treatment of substance use problems. The book provides a new understanding of how scientific principles can be utilized in addressing common human issues associated with addictions. The themes that emerge will be of interest to practitioners in pursuit of transdisciplinary research for purposes of improving interventions and services for alcohol and drug problems."--Allen Zweben, DSW, Columbia University School of Social Work - The book does a great job of explaining the science in easy-to-understand language....The book is multiauthored, each chapter written by a researcher with expertise in a particular area of substance abuse, spanning the range from genetics of substance abuse disorders, to religion and spirituality, to systems issues in delivery of substance abuse treatment. Technical jargon is kept to a minimum, and each chapter ends with a list of general principles that summarize the key points. The gap between what is known and what is practiced is disheartening. This brave little book points out that there are effective treatments, and this is definitely not the time to give up. --Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic, 6/5/2010ƒƒ An important contribution to the field....its wide-ranging information is accessible to a broad audience....Each chapter exhibits fluidity and comprehensiveness....Both experts and novices alike will find this book to be interesting and informative....A contemporary and inclusive resource for understanding substance use from a variety of perspectives and serves an important contribution to the field of . --Addiction, 6/5/2010ƒƒ Notable for its structure and noteworthy for its fresh application of recent science to the treatment and prevention of addictions....All the chapters are written by recognized experts in the field....This text provides an excellent foundation for clinicians, program administrators, policy makers, and students who want to orient themselves to the field of addiction studies. The summary of research may challenge current prevention and treatment practices by providing a fresh perspective on the field.

The authors have advanced and expanded upon the dual recovery model, but have retained some of the strongest elements of the first edition, such as modified stepwork exercises for a variety of psychiatric illnesses. They have also retained their clear and descriptive style. Of all the books I have seen, this is the best comprehensive textbook for addiction counselors wishing to develop competency in dual diagnosis. It is also wonderfully accessible for frontline mental health counselors and case managers. --Ken Minkoff, MD, Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Cambridge Hospital, Woburn, MassachusettsThis comprehensive examination of the complex relationship between addictive disorders and other psychiatric conditions will meet the needs of a wide range of audiences.

Guilford Publications Narrative Means to Sober Ends: Treating Addiction
Book SynopsisWorking with clients who abuse drugs or alcohol poses formidable challenges to the clinician. Addicted persons are often confronting multiple, complex problems, from the denial of the addiction itself, to legacies of early trauma or abuse, to histories of broken relationships with parents, spouses, and children. Making matters more confusing, the treatment field is too often splintered into different approaches, each with its own competing claims. This eloquently written book proposes a narrative approach that builds a much-needed bridge between family therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and addictions counseling. Demonstrated are innovative, flexible ways to help clients form new understandings of what has happened in their lives, explore their relationships to drugs and alcohol, and develop new stories to guide and nourish their recovery.Trade ReviewThis fluent, engrossing book takes us to the heart of the therapeutic relationship, into the experience of the therapist and the inner lives of clients. Powerful elements of 12-step approaches are interwoven with narrative therapy's brilliant use of letter writing. The poetic energy of Diamond's voice ties these strands together as he provides his own vivid commentary and reflections. Therapists, teachers, students, and concerned general readers should find in this book instruction without tears. --Lynn Hoffman, ACSW, author of Exchanging VoicesEver wonder how therapy feels to a recovering addict? Then you'll want to read this book and its many accounts of pain, loss, suffering, and recovery. Stories of survival tell more than any diagnosis about what has gone wrong in a person's life--some of the more impressive letters included in this book are addressed to the substance that started the addiction. Reading these stories and learning of their role in treatment, we begin to see how the images and metaphors that go into their telling are healing in their own right. Instead of punctuating his sessions with interpretations, Diamond weaves a coherent account that tries to make sense of an often-interrupted past, and his clients are clearly grateful. This book should be useful both in doctoral clinical programs and in workshops for experienced practitioners. --Donald P. Spence, PhD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, UMDNJ; author of Narrative Truth and Historical TruthPoignantly describing the experience of the addict and of the therapist working with addiction, this book provides good advice for acting quickly and therapeutically with clients. Diamond draws extensively on his own experience to model a therapeutic stance that is open, direct, and egalitarian, without ever abdicating the importance of knowledge and clinical skill. He is always reality-based, whether dealing with behavior, affect, or unconscious motivation. The narrative method is well presented, and best of all is the sense the reader gets of the therapist's real presence and engagement. This book is a basic primer to help therapists become bicultural and bilingual--to become 12-step literate without giving up their own beliefs, theories, or first therapeutic language. Diamond moves away from a narrow, rule-bound, 'fix-it' mentality to offer a much-needed expansion in thinking, attitude, and principle. --Stephanie Brown, PhD, Director, Addictions Institute, Menlo Park, CA; author of The Alcoholic Family in RecoveryI strongly urge anyone interested in understanding addiction to take this journey with Jonathan Diamond. This is an engaging and richly diverse guide to understanding the complexities of recovery. Diamond is a kind and creative advocate for the multitude of addicted adults and adolescents asking to be heard. --Dusty Miller, EdD, author of Women Who Hurt Themselves - With eloquence, clarity, skill, and artistry, Diamond opens up a whole new perspective on the process of therapy for client and clinician, and on how narrative techniques can help in achieving recovery. Without abandoning biological or neurological research findings, he demonstrates innovative, flexible ways to help clients understand their lives and the role that drugs and alcohol play. --Readings, 8/21/2002ƒƒ [Diamond] exhibits good knowledge of psychotherapy's theoretical underpinnings in his lucid explanations of analytic concepts such as transference and countertransference....What comes through is the experience of a compassionate, successful therapist who integrates 12-step and psychotherapeutic principles in the treatment of his patients....Because he is such a good writer, the reader feels his and his patients' joys and sorrows....Narrative Means to Sober Ends will appeal both to new addiction treaters and to experienced therapists.

Also addressed are residential and other housing services, involuntary interventions, vocational rehabilitation, and psychopharmacology for dual disorders. Throughout, the emphasis is on workable ways to combine psychiatric and substance abuse services into a cohesive, unitary system of care. In a convenient large-size format, the volume includes reproducible assessment forms, treatment planning materials, and client handouts.Trade ReviewAn outstanding resource for clinicians. The text is remarkable for its comprehensiveness, clarity, practical suggestions, and wealth of reproducible forms and handouts. Social workers will find the book especially useful, as it covers many aspects of treatment that are frequently overlooked, such as case management, family work, residential programs, and employment. This book will serve as a blueprint for providing integrated treatment for dual disorders.--Susan Gingerich, MSW, independent consultant and trainer, Narberth, PennsylvaniaMueser and his colleagues--all internationally recognized experts in their field--have given us a comprehensive, state-of-the-art volume to address empirically validated treatment for co-occurring disorders. With its treatment fidelity checklist and implementation guidelines, this book should be required reading for all program managers and mental health administrators who seek to design an effective, integrated system of care or improve existing service delivery. Grounded in practical clinical experience and well informed by first-rate scholarship, the text includes a variety of client handouts and detailed, step-by-step advice on adopting 'best practice' standards. This outstanding book is an invaluable resource for administrators, supervisors, clinicians, and trainers in social work and other mental health fields. I find it to be very valuable in training new staff. In addition, I highly recommend this book as a text for advanced practice courses in social work, psychology, psychosocial rehabilitation, and psychiatric nursing.--Margaret V. Sherrer, MSW, Project Director, Co-Occurring Addictive and Mental Disorders Program, South Shore Mental Health Center, Charlestown, Rhode Island; designated trainer, RI Council of Community Mental Health Centers, Inc.Providing meaningful help to the addicted client with major mental illness is the most difficult and challenging task that mental health clinicians face. Mueser and colleagues have provided us with a truly helpful and empowering guide. It is the best book in its field--George E. Vaillant, MD, Harvard Medical SchoolIndividuals with severe mental illness and substance abuse are the most neglected group of psychiatric patients. This comprehensive textbook fills a major void and will be infinitely useful to clinicians, administrators, and clinicians-in-training. The authors have a national reputation for pioneering efforts to develop treatment models, and they have laid out a detailed plan for the rest of us to follow. Finally, clinicians have a cure for their dual diagnosis despair!--E. Fuller Torrey, MD, The Stanley Medical Research Institute, Bethesda, MDHelping clients with dual disorders represents one of the most challenging tasks for mental health clinicians and administrators. While there is an extensive scientific literature on the topic, few programs offer integrated, evidence-based treatment. This book has the potential to change that. Written by the experts on the topic, it is a comprehensive, well-written, state-of-the-art manual that explains what needs to be done and then describes how it should be done. This book should find a home in every mental health program that works with dually diagnosed clients, and should be required reading for every new clinician and program administrator.--Alan S. Bellack, PhD, ABPP, Mental Illness Research Education Clinical Center (MIRECC), VA Capitol Health Care Network, Baltimore, MD; Department of Psychiatry, University of Maryland School of Medicine - This book is not written specifically for or by social workers; however, it provides clear, contemporary discussions of practice principles with great relevance and applicability to the social work profession....One of the great strengths of this book lies in its presentation of conceptual frameworks and models related to substance abuse and psychiatric illness....Overall, this book is interesting, well written, and well researched. It would be useful for social work educators seeking basic tools for MSW practice/field courses and for specialized doctoral-level social work education. It is also a good resource for social work students and social work practitioners who want up-to-date training about substance abuse, severe mental illness, and to know what happens when these are experienced together. --Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions, 4/27/2003ƒƒ A professor designing a graduate course to investigate how the criminal justice system deals with mentally ill people should certainly include [this book]....Provide[s] basic technical knowledge about service delivery in general, information on specific groups of people, and information about specific disorders and treatments.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Clinical Handbook of Co-existing Mental Health
Book SynopsisCo-existing mental health and drug and alcohol problems occur frequently in primary care and clinical settings.

Leading clinicians from the UK, the US and Australia provide practical descriptions of assessments and interventions for co-existing problems. These will enable professionals working with co-existing problems to understand best practice and ensure that people with co-existing problems receive optimal treatment. A range of overarching approaches are covered, including:• working within a cognitive behavioural framework;• provision of consultation-liaison services, training and supervision;• individual, group and family interventions; and• working with rurally isolated populations.The contributors also provide detailed descriptions of assessments and treatments for a range of disorders when accompanied by drug and alcohol problems, including anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and learning difficulties.

Guilford Publications Talking with College Students about Alcohol:
Book SynopsisGrounded in current best practices, this book offers flexible, readily applicable guidelines for assessing and working with college drinkers. Provided is a wealth of practical advice on interacting with students in a range of contexts, from brief conversations in medical settings to motivational counseling sessions and group interventions. Also described are effective ways to weave alcohol prevention and intervention services into the fabric of campus life. Over a dozen appendices feature reproducible assessment instruments and other indispensable tools, in a large-size format for ease of photocopying and use.

The book demystifies the idea that intervening in high-risk alcohol consumption is something that has to be done by experts. It is written in such a way that staff and faculty, even those not specially trained to work with alcohol problems, could pick it up and quickly learn how to have a brief conversation that has a lasting impact. The book shows step by step how to work with individual students and with groups, and how to develop a plan for integrating effective alcohol interventions into the larger campus community. It also provides a number of practical clinical and assessment tools. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to others who work in college health contexts.--Betsy D. Foy, MHS, CHES, Assistant Director, Student Health and Counseling, Washington University in St. Louis; Co-Chair, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug Committee, American College Health AssociationWalters and Baer have rendered a daunting topic manageable. This book is essential reading for counselors, student affairs professionals, campus housing personnel, and health care providers. The authors’ approach is perfectly pitched to the developmental levels and alcohol use patterns of college student populations. Empirically based and practical, this guide presents an approach that is effective.--Jennifer Rikard, PhD, Coordinator, ASPIRE Program (Alcohol and Other Substances Prevention/Intervention Re-directive Effort), Counseling and Psychological Services, San Diego State UniversityWalters and Baer have done campus alcohol preventionists a real service by producing this immensely useful guide to bridging research and practice on motivational interventions with college students. In particular, their assessment recommendations for different lengths of encounters are a huge contribution to the field. I plan to make this book the foundation for our work with campus administrators and counselors on individual-focused interventions. It answers just about every question campuses may have about delivering these services.--Laurie Davidson, MA, Center for College Health and Safety, Education Development Center, Inc., Newton, MassachusettsWalters and Baer have provided a superb resource for anyone who is concerned about college drinking. There is really no other book like it. They offer a clear and evidence-based set of practical tools for everything from a 5-minute chat to programmatic group or individual treatment. Through it all runs a compassionate, person-centered way of talking with students that fosters change rather than defensiveness.--William R. Miller, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of New Mexico - A welcome addition to a growing amount of discussion and concern over the proper and most effective methods to discuss this critical topic with students. Scott Walters and John Baer offer an excellent discussion of both the need to discuss this topic with students as well as examples of such discussions in practice. Although geared to the practitioner, this text offers useful insights for students, academics, and field practitioners alike. Individuals with less training in this area will find the book to be a concise introduction to methods of discussing alcohol use and change with students. Veteran practitioners will also find this text useful in brushing up on their skills, keeping up to date with the literature on college student consumption and assessments, and refreshing their skills on motivational interviewing....As someone who has worked with and studies in both the practitioner and academic realms, I recommend this book for students, practitioners, and anyone else interested in the nature of drinking on college campuses and motivational interviewing techniques for speaking with students without eliciting defensiveness....A useful, concise, and much-needed advancement in the field that brings a variety of approaches including motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and skills training together into an easy-to-understand guide for approaching students about drinking patterns, behavior, and consequences. --Criminal Justice Review, 10/15/2005ƒƒ Offers student affairs practitioners real world strategies and approaches for facilitating conversations about drinking behaviors with college students. The authors approach the subject both as clinicians and researchers, providing a user-friendly guide that is grounded in literature from several areas, including college student development and counseling....The text is easily understood by anyone working with college students. The tools and resources provided can be applied at all levels of student affairs, from graduate students and entry level professionals to senior student affairs officers....The resourcefulness of the authors can be seen in the provision of strategies that student affairs practitioners can use in a variety of settings with students. This resource-rich text offers strategies for talking with college students about alcohol that can be utilized by a breadth of college student personnel, from those with daily contact with students to those whose contact is much more infrequent. --Journal of College Student Development, 10/15/2005ƒƒ [An] exceptionally invaluable companion for both novice and seasoned professionals working in the field of alcohol-abuse prevention in higher education....An excellent resource for campuses. This book is a concise and easily digestible guide on health promotion strategies for assessing and intervening with college drinkers both on an individual basis and in a group context....Translates existing multidisciplinary research on approaches to problem drinking into concrete conversational ideas and examples of brief, yet effective, ways to minimize defensiveness and motivate students toward positive changes in drinking behavior....Recommended as a possible text for adoption by a class or program designed to train students in substance abuse counseling, peer counseling or peer education, and student health. --Health Promotion Practice, 10/15/2005ƒƒ The appendices provide excellent reproducible assessments, questionnaires, and handouts that provide valuable information and serve as a very useful adjunct to treatment....the authors do an exceptional job in meeting the challenge of matching worker characteristics to client needs, and they suggest appropriate interventions on the basis of varying amounts of time and resources available to the frontline professional....This text provides a welcomed addition to the literature on interventions for substance abuse among young adults. The authors do an exceptional job in pairing up to date empirical research findings to the practical application of interventions....I strongly encourage administrators, educators, and all of those frontline personnel who work with college students to review the text.

Guilford Publications Behavioral Couples Therapy for Alcoholism and
Book SynopsisThis eminently practical guide presents an empirically supported approach for treating people with substance abuse problems and their spouses or domestic partners. Behavioral couples therapy (BCT) explicitly focuses on both substance use and relationship issues, and is readily compatible with 12-step approaches. In a convenient large-size format, the book provides all the materials needed to introduce BCT; implement a recovery contract to support abstinence; work with clients to increase positive activities, improve communication, and reduce relapse risks; and deal with special treatment challenges. Appendices include a session-by-session treatment manual and 70 reproducible checklists, forms, and client education posters.Trade Review"In addiction treatment, where practice has lagged so far behind what we know from clinical science, there is, at last, rapid movement toward the use of evidence-based therapies. It is now abundantly clear that treating couples rather than individuals improves outcome, and BCT belongs on any list of evidence-based treatments for addiction. This clearly written book, authored by two highly experienced scientist-clinicians, provides a superb introduction to BCT that is accessible for a broad range of providers. It includes the structured outlines, handouts, and forms that are particularly helpful when learning a new treatment method."--William R. Miller, PhD, Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry, (Emeritus), University of New Mexico "This clearly-written, practical guide to behavioral couples therapy for addictive disorders will be useful to all addiction therapists. Couple-based work is extremely useful in evaluation and treatment of substance abuse; combined with behavioral and coping skills training, it can greatly improve treatment outcomes. Read this book and get better outcomes with your patients!"--Richard J. Frances, MD, Department of Psychiatry, New York University School of Medicine "Behavioral couples therapy (BCT) is one of the most scientifically and clinically sound treatments available for alcohol and drug problems. It is a highly cost-effective intervention with beneficial effects on substance abuse recovery, relapse prevention, relationship and family adjustment, and intimate partner abuse. The authors present the conceptual rationale and clinical techniques of BCT in an accessible, practitioner-friendly manner. They provide case examples and clinical wisdom addressing many of the challenges to implementation in real-world settings, including integration with 12-step approaches. This book should prove tremendously helpful in disseminating BCT to educators, researchers, and practitioners, so that a wider segment of the population can experience the benefits of this exemplary treatment approach."--Christopher M. Murphy, PhD, University of Maryland, Baltimore County "Written by the leading clinical researchers in the area, this book is the essential treatment manual for how to conduct behavioral couples therapy for alcoholism and drug abuse. Rich in detail and specific clinical direction, it should occupy a prominent place on the bookshelf of any clinician who treats people with substance abuse problems, or any clinical trainee who aspires to such work."--Andrew Christensen, PhD, University of California, Los Angeles "This excellent, reader-friendly text presents an evidence-based approach that nicely complements and expands a family disease approach to addiction. The text thoroughly addresses drug- and relationship-related issues that emerge during engagement, early recovery, and abstinence maintenance. Readers will find clinical tools like the Recovery Contract particularly helpful. The authors are superb clinical researchers who provide a sound theoretical and empirical rationale for their choice of intervention strategies. Addiction professionals, other mental health professionals, and educators will find this book useful. Its many clear tables and examples of clinical forms make the book particularly suitable for graduate-level courses on addictions treatment."--Meredith Hanson, DSW, Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service "This is an excellent and really valuable book; clearly written, erudite, and immensely useful. The authors are key figures who have done a huge amount to develop behavioral couples therapy (BCT) for substance abuse. BCT is among the most important and effective of a number of current treatments which see substance misuse as occurring within people's social context, rather than as an individual pathology. The book contains a wealth of information, including detailed guidelines that will enable practitioners to use BCT in their everyday clinical practice. I recommend it as a core text for graduate-level training programs in all of the mental health professions."--Richard Velleman, PhD, University of Bath, UK - Contrary to conventional wisdom, the authors grab the co-occurring problems by the horns and deal with both at the same time. Their well-organized, scholarly, and pragmatic book tells us exactly how to conduct behavioral couples therapy (BCT). They give us explicit guidelines, materials, and even scripts....Ever mindful of the distinction between effectiveness and efficacy studies in couples therapy, O'Farrell and Fals-Stewart show us how to implement BCT in the real world of clinical practice. Best of all, the appendices contain all kinds of goodies for the novice and expert practitioner: a 12-session BCT manual, posters and forms, and other suggested resources....Clinicians today cannot not deal with substance abuse issues in daily practice—that is why this is a book that should be read, reread, and consulted on a regular basis. Wise practitioners will add Behavioral Couples Therapy for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse to their libraries. Wise clients will seek out the wise therapists who use it. --Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic, 8/18/2006ƒƒ A practitioner's guide to using couple therapy, which is likely to be useful to any therapist who works with people with drug or alcohol problems. The two authors are leading researchers in the field and also are clearly very experience therapists....A great strength of the book is that it provides opportunity to adapt the therapy structure and content to different clinical needs....Drs. O'Farrell and Falls-Stewart have done the field a great service providing an accessible manual that describes a humane and flexible approach to offering evidence-based couple therapy. This volume is going on my bookshelf in the 'often used, valuable in clinical practice' section. --Drug and Alcohol Review, 8/18/2006ƒƒ This book is a clearly written and very straightforward and stepwise technique-focused approach to the implementation of a scientifically validated approach to behavioral couples therapy (BCT) for addictive disorders....This book is written by two of the top clinical and research psychologists with expertise in family and substance abuse treatment in the world. It is well written and researched and presented in a very usable manner. Its greatest value is that it can provide a beginning family psychologist or other practitioner with a starting point for the initiation of couples and family treatment of substance abusers. It provides a specific, understandable, and usable format with clearly defined techniques and technologies that can be implemented by the graduate-prepared psychotherapist or counselor one week after reading the book. Program directors who need to refine their substance abuse program by implementing session, program, and training structure along with supportive technologies will find this book immensely helpful, affordable, and useful. The book will be a valuable tool for orienting and training new staff who will be providing couples and family therapy in substance abuse programs. It will be handy for faculty teaching introductory substance abuse counseling courses and for supervisors of interns and residents attempting to amass experience and supervision in couples and family treatment with individuals with alcohol and other psychoactive substance abuse problems. It will be helpful in a similar regard to those wishing to have introductory training and supervision in behavioral family therapies. The appendixes alone are worth the price of purchase. --PsycCRITIQUES, 8/18/2006Table of Contents1. An Introduction to Behavioral Couples Therapy for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse2.

Guilford Publications Relapse Prevention: Maintenance Strategies in the
Book SynopsisThis important work elucidates why relapse is so common for people recovering from addictive behavior problems--and what can be done to keep treatment on track. It provides an empirically supported framework for helping people with addictive behavior problems develop the skills to maintain their treatment goals, even in high-risk situations, and deal effectively with setbacks that occur. The expert contributors clearly identify the obstacles that arise in treating specific problem behaviors, review the factors that may trigger relapse at different stages of recovery, and present procedures for teaching effective cognitive and behavioral coping strategies.Trade Review"A thoroughly revised and updated edition of an addictions classic! In comprehensive and practical chapters, the contributors critically review and discuss new developments in relapse prevention theory, research, and practice. Of particular interest is the volume's reconceptualization of the relapse process, which takes into account new research findings. A new chapter on relapse prevention among ethnic minorities is especially timely, and chapters on sexual risk behaviors, gambling disorders, and 'club drugs' document the expansion of relapse prevention to new problem areas. Clinicians, educators, and researchers should read--and reread--this book. Relapse Prevention, Second Edition, can be used as a primary text in graduate-level courses on addictive behavior. It also will serve well as a supplementary text in graduate-level courses on clinical practice and intervention research."--Meredith Hanson, DSW, Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service"People can overcome addictive behaviors, but doing so often requires time and multiple attempts. Many studies have taught us the importance of approaching treatment from a realistic perspective. In this second edition, the relapse model proffered by Marlatt for alcohol problems 20 years ago has now been extended to a dozen different addictive behaviors. Each chapter provides an overview of the management and prevention of relapse for specific problem areas. This book is absolutely essential for anyone working in the addictions field."--Linda Carter Sobell, PhD, Center for Psychological Studies, Nova Southeastern University"More than two decades ago, Alan Marlatt offered a way to analyze and prevent relapse that was one of those seminal insights that changed the field of addiction science forever. In the second edition of this influential work, Marlatt and Donovan provide an updated reconceptualization of the relapse process that incorporates cutting-edge research on craving, expectancies, contingencies, and self-regulation. Top scientist-practitioners offer a panoramic view of relapse prevention across the most extensive range of behaviors addressed in one place. Practitioners of all types, as well as researchers interested in the critical next questions facing the field, will appreciate this state-of-the-science volume and the clear treatment guidance it contains."--Carlo C.

Guilford Publications Rethinking Substance Abuse: What the Science
Book SynopsisWhile knowledge on substance abuse and addictions is expanding rapidly, clinical practice still lags behind. This book brings together leading experts to describe what treatment and prevention would look like if it were based on the best science available. The volume incorporates developmental, neurobiological, genetic, behavioral, and social–environmental perspectives. Tightly edited chapters summarize current thinking on the nature and causes of alcohol and other drug problems; discuss what works at the individual, family, and societal levels; and offer robust principles for developing more effective treatments and services.Trade Review"This book is an important contribution to our understanding of how to apply substance use research to treatment, prevention, and policy. Preeminent researchers have written chapters that focus on their respective areas of expertise. Each chapter provides a concise picture of the research activities currently underway in the area at hand and summarizes current findings. All of the important domains of research on substance use problems are covered. McLellan provides a compelling critique of the current treatment system, arguing that it is not capable of incorporating evidence-based practices. Miller and Carroll propose a radical restructuring of the now largely segregated substance abuse prevention and treatment system so that it becomes integrated into the health and mental health systems. All those interested in substance use policy should read this book."--Daniel Yalisove, PhD, Department of Psychology and Addiction Studies Program, John Jay College of Criminal Justice"Two thought leaders in substance abuse have done a remarkable service for clinicians and researchers: they have put together a distillation of what research has taught about the nature of addiction and its treatment. This volume is well focused, comprehensive, and quite readable."--Marc Galanter, MD, Department of Psychiatry and Division of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, New York University School of Medicine"If you teach about substance use and abuse, as I do, you and your students will greatly value this book. Like other exemplary volumes that review what we know about substance abuse, it offers state-of-the-art overviews of biological, psychological, and social factors in and treatments for substance abuse. But it also does a good deal more. Above all, the book anticipates important future developments and weighs them for their impact on prevention and treatment. Since the editors and contributors are leading authorities on these matters, this is a book that can be taken seriously."--Peter E. Nathan, PhD, Department of Psychology and Department of Community and Behavioral Health, University of Iowa"This is a rare book in the addictions field. It assembles the most up-to-date scientific knowledge in the social and biological sciences to advance the field with regard to the etiology, prevention, and treatment of substance use problems. The book provides a new understanding of how scientific principles can be utilized in addressing common human issues associated with addictions. The themes that emerge will be of interest to practitioners in pursuit of transdisciplinary research for purposes of improving interventions and services for alcohol and drug problems."--Allen Zweben, DSW, Columbia University School of Social Work - The book does a great job of explaining the science in easy-to-understand language....The book is multiauthored, each chapter written by a researcher with expertise in a particular area of substance abuse, spanning the range from genetics of substance abuse disorders, to religion and spirituality, to systems issues in delivery of substance abuse treatment. Technical jargon is kept to a minimum, and each chapter ends with a list of general principles that summarize the key points. The gap between what is known and what is practiced is disheartening. This brave little book points out that there are effective treatments, and this is definitely not the time to give up. --Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic, 6/5/2010ƒƒ An important contribution to the field....its wide-ranging information is accessible to a broad audience....Each chapter exhibits fluidity and comprehensiveness....Both experts and novices alike will find this book to be interesting and informative....A contemporary and inclusive resource for understanding substance use from a variety of perspectives and serves an important contribution to the field of . --Addiction, 6/5/2010ƒƒ Notable for its structure and noteworthy for its fresh application of recent science to the treatment and prevention of addictions....All the chapters are written by recognized experts in the field....This text provides an excellent foundation for clinicians, program administrators, policy makers, and students who want to orient themselves to the field of addiction studies.

Guilford Publications College Drinking and Drug Use
Book SynopsisSubstance use among college students can result in serious academic and safety problems and have long-term negative repercussions. This state-of-the-art volume draws on the latest research on students’ alcohol and drug use to provide useful suggestions for how to address this critical issue on college campuses. Leading researchers from multiple disciplines examine the prevalence and nature of substance use by students; biological and neuropsychological considerations; psychological and social aspects; prevention; and policy. Exemplary programs are presented—including brief interventions, comprehensive prevention programs, and recovery support programs—enhancing the utility of the book for campus-based clinicians and administrators.Trade ReviewPractitioners, college administrators, and public health researchers interested in the most up-to-date information on college drinking and drug use will find this volume an excellent reference. From an all-star cast of contributing authors, this is the first book to offer both biobehavioral and prevention perspectives, including suggestions on how to apply cutting-edge research to reduce this major public health problem.--Rob Turrisi, PhD, Department of Biobehavioral Health and Prevention Research Center, The Pennsylvania State UniversityThis is an important contribution for professionals who work in the college or university milieu, as well as instructors who teach courses on substance abuse. The book presents up-to-date information and current best practices. While it is well recognized that college students are at risk for substance use problems, the difficulties around prevention are legion. 'Lecturing at' college students is only marginally effective, but this book describes interventions that work! By introducing the concept that colleges and universities would benefit greatly by creating recovering communities, the book beckons the reader to the future of college-level substance use programming and opens up a whole new topic for pedagogy.--Joy G. Willmott, MSSA, LISW, LICDC, Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, Case Western Reserve UniversityChapters provide informative discussion by experts in a variety of areas related to college alcohol and drug use: epidemiology, biological effects, psychosocial aspects, prevention, and policy. This book would be a great choice for a graduate-level course on the topic.--Patrick M. O’Malley, PhD, Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan, Ann ArborA 'must-have' for every practitioner, administrator, or policymaker committed to reducing problems associated with college drinking and drug use, this essential resource guides college and university professionals to effectively bring theory to practice. Comprehensively reviewing the latest scientific research in the field, the book focuses on ways to change both college drinking culture and individuals' high-risk behaviors.--Diane Fedorchak, MEd, BASICS Project Director and Fresh and Sober Coordinator, Center for Health Promotion, University of Massachusetts Amherst-Highly recommended.

Guilford Publications Group Therapy for Substance Use Disorders: A
Book SynopsisThis authoritative book presents a groundbreaking evidence-based approach to conducting therapy groups for persons with substance use disorders. The approach integrates cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention techniques, while capitalizing on the power of group processes. Clinicians are provided with a detailed intervention framework and clear-cut strategies for helping clients to set and meet their own treatment goals. More than two dozen ready-to-use reproducible assessment tools, handouts, homework exercises, and session outlines are supplied in a convenient large-size format.Trade ReviewComprehensive and up to date, this book presents essential tools for addressing one of the most prevalent and disabling mental health problems. While a group treatment format has advantages over individual treatment, it is also associated with a number of clinical challenges. These challenges are clearly and effectively addressed by the authors. This invaluable resource is destined to become required reading for mental health care providers who want to further develop their clinical skills.--Stefan G. Hofmann, PhD, Department of Psychology, Boston UniversityThe Sobells are preeminent in the addiction treatment field. This engaging book presents the evidence behind their innovative group treatment approach and synthesizes decades of research and clinical experience. Readers will find a wealth of clinical examples, practical advice, handouts, and tools to measure client progress. The Sobells show how leading a group is like conducting an orchestra, and provide wise insights into 'making the music come from the group.'--Mary Marden Velasquez, PhD, Director, Health Behavior Research and Training Institute, University of Texas at Austin Group therapy is a standard treatment for substance use disorders, but there is limited guidance for group therapists committed to providing empirically supported treatments. The Sobells fill that gap with this book, which provides a beautiful blend of science and clinical wisdom; great handouts for clients; clear instructions for therapists; and meaningful clinical examples. The authors share their experience and thoughts in a way that invites both therapists-in-training and experienced therapists to use their approach. This book is a gem.--Barbara S. McCrady, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Director, Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse, and Addictions, University of New Mexico - This book gives details of the guided self-change (GSC) model. The model has been proven by the authors in clinical application....It is clear throughout that the book has been written by skilled and experienced practitioners, with clients' needs at the forefront....The book will appeal to practitioners at all levels who are looking to help the change process in a range of settings. --Drugs and Alcohol Today, 1/22/2011ƒƒ Adds much to the field of substance abuse and evidence-based group work....A vibrant and useful text that effectively blends the philosophy of MI with practical examples on how to build a working group based on its principals. Richly peppered with tables and handouts....The book's primer on MI may be useful in many areas of mental health treatment....The authors' ability to blend helpful practice illustrations and principles makes this a text that provides a thoughtful and conceptually based roadmap for group work with the substance-abusing population. The authors' nonjudgmental approach to change makes what they present useful in a variety of group settings beyond those focused on substance abuse....Practitioners working with myriad substance-abusing populations will benefit from this workbook....Although this text seems geared toward adult clients, it can easily be modified for work with adolescents and young adults....With its attention to detail, useful clinical examples and handouts and strong foundation in theory, Group Therapy for Substance Use Disorders: A Motivational Cognitive Behavioral Approach delivers an introduction on addictions, MI and group work for students and beginning practitioners, as well as a useful manual for practiced therapists looking for an organized how-to for integrating a new model of change. --Social Work with Groups, 1/22/2011ƒƒ A useful guide to group therapy and offers constructive ideas about individual therapy as well. The inclusion of many assessment measures, handouts, informational sheets, and homework assignments makes this a useful reference for therapists who are involved in treating substance use disorders. --PsycCRITIQUES, 1/22/2011Table of ContentsI.

Guilford Publications Integrated Group Therapy for Bipolar Disorder and
Book SynopsisPacked with practical clinical tools, this book presents an empirically supported treatment expressly designed for clients with both bipolar disorder and substance use disorders. Integrated group therapy teaches essential recovery behaviors and relapse prevention skills that apply to both illnesses. The volume provides a complete session-by-session overview of the approach, including clear guidelines for setting up and running groups, implementing the cognitive-behavioral treatment techniques, and troubleshooting frequently encountered problems. In a large-size format for easy reference and photocopying, the book features more than 30 reproducible handouts, forms, and bulletin board materials.Trade Review"A valuable clinical resource. Weiss and Connery provide an excellent guide to the nature of bipolar disorder and substance abuse, their interactions, and the role of group therapy in fostering recovery. The practicalities of implementing the approach are succinctly described, including the logistics of setting up and running group sessions. The heart of the book lies in its clear, step-by-step explication of each session. This book is destined to become a classic in the treatment of dual disorders. It deserves to be on the shelf of any clinician working with this challenging population."--Kim T. Mueser, PhD, Department of Occupational Therapy, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, and Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation, Boston University "Bipolar disorder complicated by substance abuse is an enormous clinical challenge. This book presents timely and clinically relevant information that will be of extraordinary value to any clinician interested in learning about and treating individuals who have both disorders. This is a readily understandable, well-organized, and practical 'how-to' guide to one of the most efficacious treatments available for individuals with co-occurring substance abuse and psychiatric disorders."--Kathleen T. Brady, MD, PhD, Distinguished University Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Medical University of South Carolina "This is a much-needed and all-too-rare contribution--a practical, compelling, and clinically focused description of a true evidence-based approach. Weiss and Connery offer extensive clinical wisdom and practical advice for addressing an enormously challenging and underserved group of patients. Moreover, their brief group approach is highly flexible and can be used in a range of clinical settings. It will set the standard for integrated treatment of substance use and psychiatric disorders."--Kathleen M. Carroll, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine "Combining craft and science, the approach in this book will help you and your students deliver effective treatment to an often-neglected, deeply troubled population. The book is clearly written and evidence based. It includes essential tools for motivating your patients and helping them adhere to their abstinence and treatment adherence goals, 'no matter what.'"--Richard J. Frances, MD, Department of Psychiatry, New York University School of Medicine- The introductory chapters are a kind of primer. The practitioner is given an overview of addictions and bipolar disorder, as well as CBT. This includes a crisp review of symptoms for each disorder, their attendant behaviors, approximate ages of onset, steps to recovery, and signs of relapse. For less experienced clinicians, or for those in need of some review, these chapters are particularly helpful and beautifully rewritten....The workbook is extremely thorough in that it provides the worker with alternative ways to present the information and process the handouts. In so doing, group workers will have a variety of ways to reach group members with differing learning styles. The lesson, the group process, the handouts, and homework assignments enable group members to apply the content they have just learned to situations they are likely to encounter in their lives outside of the group....In addition to the handouts that are included for group members' use, there are additional worksheets provided and a collection of 'bulletin boards' for the worker's use. These can be posted as a vehicle for discussions....One of the most interesting resources that the workbook provides is a template for program evaluation....An exceptional resource for practitioners and clients alike. Workers who are not trained specifically as cognitive-behavioral therapists or addictions specialists, and novice group workers will find the curriculum very accessible, as the authors have given them every tool they might need. I recommend this workbook for use in partial hospital programs, and outpatient mental health and substance abuse recovery and relapse prevention groups. I also recommend it for use in graduate-level training programs in courses that teach Assessment and Diagnosis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Advanced Group Work, and as an adjunct to Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, which can be part of an exceedingly effective relapse prevention plan. --Social Work with Groups, 3/13/2011ƒƒ The book is designed for mental health and drug and alcohol counsellors or clinicians. It does not require prior group therapy facilitation experience as it gives step-by-step advice and guidance for implementation....It is particularly heartening to see the inclusive approach: participants may join the open group format in various stages of preparedness or motivation for change....I plan to use the IGT manual for treatment groups as well as for teaching trainee facilitators....A welcome addition to a limited number of practical, integrated treatment manuals for therapy for people with co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders. --Drug and Alcohol Review, 3/13/2011Table of ContentsI.

Guilford Publications Finding Your Way to Change: How the Power of
Book SynopsisAre you tired of being told by others--self-help books included--what you should do? Drs. Allan Zuckoff and Bonnie Gorscak understand. That's why this book is different. Whether it's breaking an unhealthy habit, pursuing that dream job, or ending harmful patterns in relationships, the key to moving ahead with your life lies in discovering what direction is truly right for you, and how you can get there. The proven counseling approach known as motivational interviewing (MI) can help. Drs. Zuckoff and Gorscak present powerful self-help strategies and practical tools that help you understand why you're stuck, break free of unhelpful pressure to change, and build confidence for developing a personal change plan. Vivid stories of five men and women confronting different types of challenges illustrate the techniques and accompany you on your journey. MI has a track record of helping people resolve long-standing dilemmas in a remarkably short time. Now you can try it for yourself--and unlock your own capacity for positive action.Trade Review"This brilliant book guides you through a journey of discovery in that most intimate and difficult relationship--the one with yourself. Stories of others who have made the trek illustrate the challenges of being stuck in a problem that seems intractable, the way through the mire, and the joy of emerging on the other side. The book offers not only the promise of change, but also the ability to sustain it."--David B. Rosengren, PhD, Prevention Research Institute "Changing our behaviors is a journey with lots of twists and turns. Including compassionate stories of people facing different challenges and problems, this book guides you to deal with ambivalence, find confidence, overcome false starts, handle well-meaning advice and nagging, and make personally meaningful decisions and plans. It provides great tools for achieving and sustaining changes in your life."--Carlo C. DiClemente, PhD, ABPP, coauthor ofChanging for Good "If you've ever said to yourself, 'I really want to change, but I just can't seem to do it,' you need to read this excellent book. Dr. Zuckoff knows that there are powerful forces within us that can sabotage our good intentions and best-laid plans. He gives you practical, scientifically grounded tools to help you understand why you're spinning your wheels and how to productively work through it."--Henny Westra, PhD, CPsych, Department of Psychology, York University, Canada "A friend suggested that I read this book when she learned I was considering a career change. It provided me with a useful toolkit for considering what I want to do next, based on my own deep-seated interests and visions of my professional life. The concepts and techniques are easy to grasp. Previously, I tried to make difficult decisions by listing the pros and cons--this book offers a more sophisticated and thoughtful approach."--John F. "A lucid roadmap for those struggling to make changes in their lives, this book uses a scientifically proven approach to help you move forward from feeling stuck to creating a plan of action. Written exercises encourage reflection and self-discovery and help you explore your ambivalence, goals, and dilemmas. Superb examples of five easy-to-relate-to people making important changes accompany you through the process."--Holly A. Swartz, MD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine “This book is a compassionate companion that helps you draw on your strengths and proceed at your own pace to unlock your capacity for change. It provides a nonjudgmental, step-by-step approach that can lead you to take brave new actions that fulfill your needs."--Nancy K. Grote, PhD, School of Social Work, University of Washington "Plenty of self-help books offer great ideas about how to make changes, but most are missing the most obvious and important ingredient--intrinsic motivation. Decades of research have proven that if we are not internally motivated to change, all the help in the world won't make a difference. Dr. Zuckoff provides the missing link in the world of personal growth. This book is a gem."--Joel Porter, PsyD, Clinical Director, Lives Lived Well, Brisbane, Australia; member, Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) "I am thrilled that MI is now readily accessible to all in a practical, step-by-step format. The book reminds us that the most powerful force for change resides within each of us, and uses thought-provoking exercises to unleash this power. For anyone facing a difficult decision or need for personal change, this book offers a way forward."--Sandy Downey, MS, LPC, psychotherapist, Harrisonburg, Virginia "This book is designed to help you get unstuck from ambivalence and move ahead with positive changes you might choose to make in your life….The authors do not dispense quick tricks or promise to give you something that you lack. Rather they help you find that which you already have within you and draw out your own motivations for and wisdom about change. Change in the face of ambivalence is a very common human predicament. We applaud the authors for translating the science and practice of MI into a useful skills-based book for anyone who wants to find his or her way to change."--from the Foreword by William R. Miller, PhD, and Stephen Rollnick, PhD "The method in this book can fuel the fire of change and help you move from despair to positive action. The exercises are wonderful. The book helped me think differently about a dilemma in my own life, and I found myself reading parts of it to a friend who came to me for advice."--Theresa B. Moyers, PhD, Department of Psychology and Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse, and Addictions, University of New Mexico -One of the most empathetic books on the subject of altering behaviors.
