Media portrayals and diagnostic criteria convey an image of an
addicted person as someone whose deficient coping skills and
severely compromised functioning are readily apparent. Yet
addictions remain some of the most frequently missed diagnoses in
health and mental health care settings. This occurs, in large part,
because most people with addictions do not fit the stereotype. In
the context of psychotherapy, the typical patient with an addiction
will present depression, anxiety, marital problems or a general
sense that life is not working. This book addresses how addictions
can be recognized more often and accurately assessed in the context
of psychotherapy. Along with learning about the standard assessment
instruments, the reader is introduced to methods for asking the
appropriate questions and listening to the clinical dialogue for
signs of a undisclosed addiction. This book provides a great deal
of knowledge about addictions and their assessment in a way that is
relevant to clinical practice.
