Good introduction
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book was a required text for a graduate-level addictions course. This book proved to be a good introductory text for students and can be used by addictions counselors (or other practitioners treating addicted clients/patients) as a reference text.
Not Just For Counselors
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I read this book because another reviewer recommended it for anyone who knew someone with an addiction issue. The author writes so well and the knowledge I gained I will always be thankful for. It is the perfect primer. I hope the author will write more.
Wonderful Introduction
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book has been useful to me on so many levels. I would encourage anyone who is looking for a starting point to start here. The book will not overwhelm nor will it underwhelm. The writing style is easy to read and to the point. The check lists are very useful. Thank you for a well done book on such a varied topic.
Upgraded Study of Addiction Therapy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Book is an excellent review of the material and information necessary to perform interventions with chemically dependent patients. Material is presented in such a way that the book can be later used as a reference guide when needing additional material for group presentations.
Must have for comprehensive learning experience!

I teach addiction studies at a local university and find this book a great reference and hope to adopt it for one of my classes. It provides a great overview of the addiction treatment field without being too wordy or lost in theory. This is a well-written book which encourages the learner where many books are discouraging!
