Product Description
Review
" Introduction to Addictive Behaviors was the first text of its kind to address how specific counseling strategies could be applied to the complex problems of addiction. This second edition now extends that guidance even further. Individuals who study and apply the material in this volume will be able to know where they are in a counseling session, how to select and implement particular strategies, and what treatment goals to pursue. For counselors and for their clients, this is akin to walking out of Plato's cave. This edition should gain widespread use as a text at the undergraduate and graduate levels." --Michael J. Taleff, PhD
"I'm finally able to assign a text to my graduate- and undergraduate-level students that both cuts through the myths and folklore surrounding addiction and provides a balanced appraisal of what the evidence actually supports. This book should be required reading for anyone who spends much of the day working with an addicted population. It also belongs on the shelves of those responsible for formulating policy at agencies providing addiction treatment services." --J. Michael Faragher, PsyD, CACIII, Chair, Department of Human Services, Co-Director, Center for Addiction Studies, Metropolitan State College of Denver
"This well-organized, well-written, and comprehensive second edition is carefully designed to meet the needs of its intended audience. Thombs has a gift for showing how theory and research drive practice, demonstrating to counselors-in-training the meaning and relevance of this demanding material. Enjoyable and stimulating, the volume will complement the contemporary move toward higherstandards within the counseling profession." --Howard Blane, PhD, Senior Research Scientist, Research Institute on Addictions, Buffalo NY
Product Description
Major contemporary perspectives on alcholism and drug dependence are reviewed. The second edition incorporates behavioural genetics, neuroscience, dual diagnosis, contingency management, children of alcholics and other recent advances.
