Gain a practical perspective on group therapy as a treatment for
addiction
As more and more researchers and clinicians recognize group
therapy as the primary psychosocial intervention in the treatment
of substance abusers, there is a growing need for a comprehensive
resource that places the wide range of theories and ideas about the
treatment into practical perspective. The Group Therapy of
Substance Abuse is the first book to bridge the gap between
substance abuse treatment and group psychotherapy by presenting
expert analyses that address all major schools of thought. The book
includes clinical examples and specific recommendations for
treatment techniques, reflecting a variety of viewpoints from the
leading clinicians, scholars, and teachers in the field.
Because of its therapeutic efficacy and cost effectiveness, group
therapy has come to play an increasingly important role as the
psychosocial therapy of choice for an ever-increasing numbers of
patients with substance abuse disorders. For ease of use, The Group
Therapy of Substance Abuse is divided into several sections,
including a discussion of the basic theoretical approaches on which
most group treatments of substance abusers are based; the uses of
group treatment approaches in specific treatment settings; and the
uses of group treatment with specific patient populations.
The Group Therapy of Substance Abuse also includes diverse
perspectives on: interpersonal and psychodynamic approaches to
therapy cognitive behavioral methods outpatient, inpatient, and
partial-hospitalization groups network therapy and 12-step groups
treatment of gay, lesbian, bisexual, adolescent, and elderly
abusers therapeutic community groups Essential for professionals
who treat substance abusers, The Group Therapy of Substance Abuse
is also an excellent textbook for scholars and students in the
mental health field. The book adds depth to the practicing (and
soon-to-be practicing) clinician's understanding of how best to
address the complex problem of addiction.

This is a book about how humans learn. Our focus is on classroom
learning although the principles are, as the name of this book
indicates, universal. We are concerned with learning from
pre-school to post-graduate. We are concerned with most bu- ness,
industrial and military training. We do not address how infants
learn how to speak or walk, or how grown-ups improve their tennis
swing. We do address all learning described by the word "thought",
as well as anything we might try to teach, or instruct in formal
educational settings. In education, the words theory and model
imply conjecture. In science, these same words imply something that
is a testable explanation of phenomena able to predict outcomes of
experiments. This book presents a model of learning that the
authors offer in the sense of scientists rather than educators.
Conjecture implies that information is incomplete, and so it surely
is with human learning. On the other hand, we assert that more than
enough is known to sustain a "scienti?c" model of learning. This
book is not a review of the literature. Instead, it is a synthesis.
Scholars and many teachers likely have heard much if not most or
even all of the information we use to develop the uni?ed learning
model. What you have not read before is a model putting the
information together in just this way; this is the ?rst one.

This book delves into a review of current research, active
learning strategies, Web courseware, metacognition, strategies for
Web discussions, promoting student self-regulation, building
interactive Web pages, basic HTML coding, managing Web sites, using
databases, automated testing, and security and legal issues. It
helps readers pick and choose what aspects of the Web to employ to
achieve the greatest student learning gains.
Based on the author's experience using computers and multimedia in
teaching large, multisection courses, this groundbreaking text
demonstrates how teaching professionals at all levels of
instruction can use `paperless' electronic dialoguing to
dramatically improve classroom instruction. The book explains how
to employ such tools as: hypertext, animation, morphs, CAD, and
virtual reality interactive strategies using of e-mail
`self-regulation', a means of enhancing students'independence and
efficiency and `intranets', networks that are off the Web but
operate on the same basic principle.
There are many lessons in Texas Holdem poker that apply generally
to life. The life lessons are universal, it's just fun to use
situations in poker to make the point. Holdem players will get the
analogies instantly, at least the good ones who know more than what
beats what. I have written this book to share some lessons I
learned across my life. I trust these principles will help you to
deal with every-day life more effectively and will enable you to
more fully enjoy every day you are granted. If the tone gets a
little preachy sometimes, well, tough. You need to hear it. My
sincere hope is that you will take time to physically write a few
things down about your life after reading this book and then enjoy
seeing that writing evolve across time. The analogies to Texas
Holdem are fun. If you play Holdem you will get the connections
easily. And if you don't, maybe you should try something new, and
begin.
