The last few years have seen an increasing awareness among the
mental health community to the unique situations of the person
suffering simultaneously from mental health disorders and substance
abuse addiction. Complementing this rise in attention has been a
realization of the unique challenges faced by mental health
professionals engaged in the treatment of these clients, and a
startling acknowledgement of the gap in the existing literature on
the topic. There is currently no available treatment manual that
includes specific training on how to treat this difficult
population, following guidelines and practical instructions based
on treatment practices already employed by the authors. This
treatment manual will fill an important gap in the literature by
addressing the specific challenges faced by the clinician treating
individuals with co-occurring schizophrenia and substance abuse
disorders.
The unique strength of the proposed volume is its close adherence
to a treatment plan proven successful by empirical research and now
being made available for the practicing clinician. The book is
designed as a manual for mental health professionals, and follows a
program which incorporates various treatment components, from
motivational interviewing, urinalysis contingency, and social
skills training to education and coping skills, problem solving and
relapse prevention, and finally termination. Guidelines are clearly
established for these treatment modes, utilizing case examples and
fictional situations to allow the reader to profit more directly
from the lessons in the text. The book follows a treatment outline
that will allow the clinician to pattern a series of therapy
sessions after thesuggested timeframe found within the text.
Additionally, the format and flow of individual sessions is
carefully considered and discussed, allowing the clinician a model
from which to base a treatment plan.
