Book Description

November 1, 2004 0805843116 978-0805843118 annotated edition
Addiction Counseling Review: Preparing for Comprehensive, Certification, and Licensing Examinations offers a clear, readable overview of the knowledge and skills those training as alcohol or other drug counselors need to pass their final degree program, certification, and licensing examinations. It is organized into six sections: Addiction Basics, Personality Development and Drugs, Common Client Problems, Counseling Theories and Skills, Treatment Resources, and Career Issues. Each chapter includes challenging study questions that enable readers to assess their own level of understanding, including true/false, multiple choice, and provocative discussion questions. Each chapter also provides a glossary of key terms and, in addition to references, annotated suggestions for further reading and Web site exploration.

This book will be a resource to which students and trainees will go on referring to long after it has helped them through their examinations. In addition, faculty and established professionals will find it a useful one-stop summary of current thinking about best practice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, April 1, 2010
This review is from: Addiction Counseling Review: Preparing for Comprehensive, Certification, and Licensing Examinations (Hardcover)
I borrowed Addiction Counseling Review (ACR) from a co-worker to study for a state certification exam, and am using it again to prepare for the MAC. ACR is thorough enough that I would like my own copy. However, at the time of this writing it is far more expensive than I can afford. Like the previous reviewer, I too would like more access to practice tests. While ACR isn't strong in that regard, it does provide a considerable amount of very useful information. It also provides accompanying multiple choice questions throughout. As the book is read, questions regarding the current subject are provided in offset boxes with an answer key in the back. It seems to be a good concept in which the reader ends up answering many exam-type questions. I think ACR achieves it's overall purpose to be a preparatory review for certification exams. To be fair, I'm not sure any single book can be thorough enough or offer enough practice to remove my anxiety about these high-stakes, high-cost exams.
