Patient-Centered Care Series Series Editors: Moira Stewart Judith
Belle Brown and Thomas R Freeman Primary care clinicians are often
unfamiliar with new and effective methods for detecting substance
abuse problems in their earliest stages and the majority of
patients with substance abuse problems remain undiagnosed.
Substance Abuse is written by primary care clinicians and focused
to meet the needs of primary care providers demonstrating how the
patient-centered clinical method can assist clinicians in learning
how to diagnose this complex psychosocial disorder. This book
describes how to use state-of-the-art screening techniques and how
to understand and motivate patients to decrease or eliminate
harmful use of alcohol and drugs. It presents the latest scientific
findings and gives examples of using a patient-centered approach as
well as describing specific communication skills with samples of
dialogue illustrating their use in helping substance-abusing
patients. This is essential reading for all family doctors
paediatricians gynaecologists psychiatrists nurses social workers
psychologists and all clinicians whose practices include substance
abusing patients. It will also appeal to counsellors education
personnel and all professionals working with substance abusing
individuals. For more information on other titles in this series
