Editorial Reviews

Review

"The 55 appendices make this book indispensable. . . . Another strength was the introduction of concepts and terms which are defined, explained, and contain examples. Inclusion of the spiritual dimensions of the approach were very helpful. . . . This is an excellent integration of research and practice."

Product Description

Chemical Dependency Counselingthe first comprehensive treatment manual written specifically for chemical dependency counselors presents the state-of-the-art tools necessary to deliver outstanding treatment and meet the highest standards demanded by accrediting bodies. More than 30 addiction counselors, including some of the most outstanding authorities in the field, have contributed to the development of this manual. Using a hands-on style to treating chemical dependency, this practical guide leads the addiction professional through all aspects of traditional treatment. Chapters cover the gamut of treatment issues, including developing the therapeutic alliance, screening, detoxification, biopsychosocial assessment, dual-diagnosis, patient orientation, treatment planning, individual therapy, group therapy, case management, crisis intervention, record keeping, discharge planning, and referral. Author Robert R. Perkinson provides case studies and step-by-step instructions with clear explanations and procedures that counselors need to use in all phases of patient care. Furthermore, the guide provides counselors with exercises for clients to use. The exercises educate clients about addiction, help them relate the information to their own lives, teach them new skills necessary to maintain sobriety, and encourages them to practice the new skills they have learned. Those who work with the treatment of chemical dependency will appreciate the thorough and practical approach offered in this guide, particularly professionals in the fields of social work, clinical psychology, psychology, psychiatry, nursing, public health, sociology, and public administration.
