effectively assess and treat individuals with diagnoses for which
they were trained. However, few therapists exclusively have clients
who manifest only psychiatric or substance abuse symptoms. This
book provides information and case examples concerning how to
effectively manage a caseload composed of individuals with
substance abuse, psychiatric, and co-occurring disorders. It
presents strategies for providing comprehensive assessments for
these individuals. Additionally, it describes how to provide
effective case management as well as individual, group, and family
treatment for individuals with multiple disorders and levels of
function, and provides information on interacting effectively with
the mental health and substance abuse recovery communities. Tables,
figures, and a generous portion of intriguing case descriptions
will help you apply the information in this useful volume to your
own work.
