Solstrand Fjord Hotel, Os, Norway. The editors of the book were
Co-Directors of that conference. As well, 65 other scientists from

Harm reduction is the single most effective approach to drug and
alcohol problems because harm reduction uses pragmatic,
evidence-based strategies that work. This book is the first
comprehensive compilation of harm reduction strategies aimed
specifically at people who drink alcohol. Whether your goal is
safer drinking, reduced drinking, or quitting alcohol altogether,
this is the book for you. It contains a large and detailed
selection of harm reduction tools and strategies which you can
choose from to build your own individualized alcohol harm reduction
program. There are many practical exercises to help people change
their behaviors, including risk-ranking worksheets, drinking
charts, goal choice worksheets, and many more. There are also
innumerable practical tips from folks who "have been there" and
have turned their drinking habits around for the better. This book
exemplifies the harm reduction principles of "meeting people where
they are at" and encouraging people to change in ways which they
choose for themselves. This book can either be used as a self-help
manual for people working on their own or by people who are
participating in a harm reduction support group. BETTER IS BETTER
This expanded edition of the successful Graywind title, Managing
Your Drug and Alcohol Problem: Therapist Guide provides an
evidence-based treatment protocol for all types of substance use
disorders. Designed to accompany the Managing Your Addictive
Behavior: Workbook, Second Edition, this guide provides clinicians
with valuable strategies for working with substance use disorders
by focusing on specific issues involved in both stopping substance
abuse and changing behaviors or lifestyle aspects that contribute
to continued substance abuse. In addition to addressing
professional approaches/attitudes toward the substance abusing
client, assessment, psychosocial and pharamacotherapeutic
treatment, and self-help programs, this expanded edition also
includes a new chapter on the management of a co-occurring
psychiatric disorder.
This important work elucidates why relapse is so common for people
recovering from addictive behavior problems--and what can be done
to keep treatment on track. It provides an empirically supported
framework for helping people with addictive behavior problems
develop the skills to maintain their treatment goals, even in
high-risk situations, and deal effectively with setbacks that
occur. The expert contributors clearly identify the obstacles that
arise in treating specific problem behaviors, review the factors
that may trigger relapse at different stages of recovery, and
present procedures for teaching effective cognitive and behavioral
coping strategies.
Cannabis dependence is controversial. Does it occur or is it a myth
put forth by those who oppose legalisation? What are the signs of
cannabis dependence? How many people are affected? What are the
health and behavioural risks of becoming cannabis-dependent? What
counselling approaches have been tested with adults and
adolescents, and how effective are they? What are the arguments for
legalisation, regulation or prohibition? Looking back and toward
the future, what do we know and what do we need to learn? This
state-of-the-science review sets out to answer all those questions,
beginning with an historical examination and moving into diagnosis,
classification, epidemiology, public health, policy, issues
relating to regulation and prohibition, and evidence-based
interventions.
This instructive manual presents a pragmatic and clinically proven
approach to the prevention and treatment of undergraduate alcohol
abuse. The BASICS model is a nonconfrontational, harm reduction
approach that helps students reduce their alcohol consumption
gradually and decrease the behavioural and health risks associated
with heavy drinking. Including numerous reproducible handouts and
assessment forms, the book takes readers step-by-step through
conducting BASICS assessment and feedback sessions. Special topics
covered include the use of DSM-IV criteria to evaluate alcohol
abuse, ways to counter student defensiveness about drinking, and
obtaining additional treatment for students with severe alcohol
dependency.
Leading scholars, researchers, and clinicians in the field of
addictive behavior provide an examination of drug dependency from a
life span perspective in this authoritative volume. These experts
argue that addictive problems among adolescents, young adults,
those in mid-life, and the elderly require new forms of
intervention and different theoretical conceptualizations.
Organized around four general topic areas: etiology and course,
prevention and early intervention, integrated treatment, and policy
issues across the life span, Addictive Behaviors Across the Life
Span thoroughly delineates such timely issues as treating substance
abuse problems in offenders, prevention and early detection of
alcohol and drug problems, the codependency movement, recovery
patterns, and women's issues. Among the other topics covered are
biopsychosocial perspectives on the intergenerational transmission
of alcoholism to children of alcoholics, comparative effects of
community-based drug abuse prevention, adult marijuana dependence,
and reducing the risks of addictive behaviors. Addictive Behaviors
Across the Life Span is essential reading for academic and research
psychologists, social workers, addiction counselors, psychiatrists,
and other mental health professionals involved in direct treatment.
