This comprehensive reference offers a fresh, integrative
perspective on the assessment and treatment of addictive disorders.
The work is organized into five sections, which treat theories of
addiction, the diagnosis and evaluation of addictive behavior,
treatment approaches, addiction among special populations, and
clinical and legal issues concerning substance abuse professionals.
The broad scope of the handbook encompasses alcoholism, drug
addiction, eating disorders, and smoking. Theory is consistently
used to illuminate practice, resulting in a valuable overview of
the field.
Within each section, essays by contributors discuss the most
important issues and developments in the diagnosis and treatment of
addiction. The opening essays establish a solid theoretical
foundation by outlining behavioral, familial, and psychoanalytical
explanations for the origins of addictive behavior. The later
essays build on that base by overviewing diagnostic and treatment
issues concerning addiction among Native Americans, the elderly,
victims of traumatic brain injury, adult children of alcoholics,
and teenagers. Useful appendixes list additional sources of
information and describe certification for substance abuse
professionals in each state. Psychologists, psychiatrists, and
substance abuse counselors will find this handbook a necessary
addition to their professional libraries.
