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."

Product Description
To help prepare you for the realities of working with clients affected by addictions, this beneficial text provides you with the necessary tools needed to competently translate addictions theory into practice. It offers a thorough examination of a range of models and perspectives for helping, and it encourages critical thinking to best match approaches with clients and situations. Presented in a work-text format, this book is full of cases, exercises, role-plays, and questions to increase your understanding of concepts and application to practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, March 1, 2005
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.
