Editorial Reviews
Review
"This text fills a tremendous gap in material available to instructors in the area of substance abuse. It is a phenomenal resource filled with practical, best-practice oriented exercises that support critical thinking, the blending and application of essential knowledge and skills, and the development of professional self-awareness."
"It is clear to me that Dr. Barsky has the rare ability to pinpoint and integrate essential attitude, skill, and content areas into thoughtful, engaging and valuable assignments for students."
"I would describe it as an experientially based manual that also includes useful content. It is more than a workbook because students have to go to other sources if they are to have enough information to carry out many of the activities outlined in the manuscript. I think it would be a good addition to any chemical dependency counseling course, or it could be used in conjunction with a series of courses."

5.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive,
By Ty David "TyProfessor" (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alcohol, Other Drugs and Addictions: A Professional Development Manual for Social Work and the Human Services (Paperback)
This book covers topics from A to Z. It's like an "everything you ever wanted to know about addictions" manual. I'm going to use it for one of my social work classes. The only problem is that there's too much material to cover in one semester. The postive side of this is that students can continue to use the manual while they're in practice.
