Description
Book SynopsisReflecting the latest content in the DSM5, The Spectrum of Addiction presents a comprehensive overview of addictive behaviors and habits from early use through risky use, severe-risk use, and addiction. Authors Laura Veach and Regina Moro draw from their experience in both teaching and counseling to provide real-world knowledge and evidence-based practices for working with clients who fall within the spectrum of addiction ranging from experimentation to physical addiction and recovery. With a unique focus on neuroscience, integration of CACREP standards, and extensive coverage of addictions across the lifespan, the book serves as a practical resource for future addiction counselors.
The Spectrum of Addiction is part of SAGE's Counseling and Professional Identity Series.
Trade Review"The Spectrum of Addiction fills a gap in preparing graduate students to better serve clients struggling with addictive behaviors. Its inclusion of the new DSM–5 criteria for addictive behaviors and lifespan focus make this is a unique contribution to the field."
-- Robert Scholz
"This textbook provides an updated, comprehensible 21st-century foundation for the understanding of an age-old struggle with problems surrounding addictions."
-- Arlene Saum
