This timely volume fills a long-standing gap in the professional
literature by providing an overview of contemporary assessment and
rehabilitation of alcohol and chemical dependent substance abusers.
Although many occupational therapists and other activity therapy
staff work in substance abuse programs, few articles in
occupational therapy literature address this relevant topic.
Treatment of Substance Abuse: Psychosocial Occupational Therapy
Approaches provides a unique overview of contemporary assessment
and rehabilitiation of alcohol and chemical dependent substance
abusers. The highlights of this insightful book include behavioral
and educational frames of reference as well as specific treatment
modalities such as stress management, activities of daily living,
and leisure counseling. Contributors examine current polemics
regarding programs that use methadone versus abstinence and
theoretical concepts including the psychodynamic model with
emphasis on the defensive structure underlying the abuser's
personality, as well as leveled conceptual framework for
considering treatment. A number of practical techniques are
discussed within the overall context of each article; hence the
reader will find usable guidelines for establishing boundaries of
treatment as well as discreet ideas about methods and practice.
Roles and functions of varying disciplines are reviewed in an
effort to discriminate role clarity and provide implications for
practice in relation to different models. This issue is valuable to
the OT who seeks an understanding of the varying viewpoints and
current practice in the substance abuse field.
