I am Clinical Director at an outpatient drug clinic. After reading my copy of this book, I ordered 23 more--one for each of our counselors. A really great resource that makes a difference with challenging clients.

Rather than argue about whose approach to treatment is best, the author develops the very best ideas from many different models. The result is a user-friendly collection that makes it much easier to connect with your most difficult clients.

There are many books with information on theories, models, and philosophies of treatment. This book tells practitioners exactly what to do when dealing with challenging addicted clients. Very practical, helpful information counselors can put to work right away.

This is an excellent book for addiction counselors and supervisors to learn effective ways to respond to clients who either feel hopeless to change or resist the need for change.
