Review
"'A groundbreaking book--the first in the field to provide a clear, clinically useful, and practical explication of how to enhance patient compliance with medication and addictions treatment. While there have been other publications that have addressed this important issue in the age of increasing attention to neurobiological treatments for addiction, none has been as comprehensive or as solidly grounded in research findings. It is a 'must read' for all clinicians working with addicted patients in settings where medications are a part of treatment, or where other treatment compliance issues are important to address. It will also be useful in professional training for physicians, psychologists, social workers, and addiction counselors.' - Frederick Rotgers, PsyD, Smithers Addiction Treatment and Research Center, New York, NY 'This book describes treatment principles that are helpful to 80per cent of drug and alcohol patients! Within the BRENDA approach, psychosocial and pharmacological treatment choices are individualized, with emphasis on naltrexone for alcohol addiction. These talented researcher-practitioners have produced a much-needed guide that will be readily understood and used in practice and teaching by psychologists, counselors, social workers, nurse practitioners, and others.' - Lester Luborsky, PhD, School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania"
