This review is from: Overcoming Your Alcohol or Drug Problem: Effective Recovery Strategies Therapist Guide (Treatments That Work) (Paperback)

I'm a psychlogist and I work in a psychiatric ward, I found this book is a excellent tool for those who works with patient with alcohol or drugs problems. The workbook Its very easy to understand for the patiens and they like to use it. About the series "Tratments that Work", I have two books of the series and I planning to buy all of them, because they have very practical information and evidence based protocols that could be use in many different settings. I hope that this series will be release in spanish, at least the workbooks.
