Riassunto

This acclaimed clinical guide helps clinicians put the proven principles of harm reduction into practice with therapy clients who have substance use problems. The paperback edition has a new preface on current research and service delivery models. Written by pioneers in the field, the book shows how to do effective therapeutic work with people still using alcohol or other drugs. It provides clear guidelines for conducting comprehensive assessments, making collaborative treatment decisions, and implementing interventions that combine motivational, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic strategies. The focus is reducing drug-related harm while also addressing co-occurring psychological and emotional difficulties. Detailed clinical illustrations are featured throughout.
