Reviews for Treating Addiction, Second Edition: A Guide for Professionals

The authors have provided an excellent foundation for the understanding of addiction and its context and recommendations for intervention. New and experienced practitioners will be interested in this book and will make reference to it throughout their working lives. (on the first edition)-- (07/01/2013) This second edition provides up-to-date coverage of essential topics in addiction treatment, deftly integrating clinical science and practice. Readers in the early stages of training will find it clear and accessible, while more advanced clinicians and clinical scientists will be attracted to the deep knowledge base of the experienced authors. I strongly recommend this book as a source of foundational information in any graduate course or professional training program in addiction. --Stephen A. Maisto, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychology, Syracuse University 'Must' reading for all who work with persons with substance use disorders. What makes this book unique is that it goes beyond specialist care in addictions to offer a practical guide for professionals in a wide range of fields. It draws on a variety of strategies of proven effectiveness that can be individualized to meet client needs. The case management section is especially useful, as is the new chapter on mindfulness. This is an invaluable text for advanced courses in addictions, family studies, and mental health counseling. Miller and his coauthors have helped to revolutionize substance abuse treatment by moving the field from a focus on harsh confrontation to a more compassionate approach. --Katherine van Wormer, PhD, MSSW, Department of Social Work (Emerita), University of Northern Iowa This is a thoughtful, useful book with important updates by experts in the field. Stigma may be the biggest obstacle we face in working with clients. The authors have done a masterful job of reconceptualizing terms like 'substance abuse' and 'relapse' in a way that is strengths-based and nonjudgmental, in keeping with their belief that positive outcomes emerge from supporting client self-determination. This second edition should become a foundational text in multidisciplinary clinical programs. --Lia Nower, JD, PhD, Professor and Director, Center for Gambling Studies, School of Social Work, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
