- Summary
- It forms a valuable reference that is sure to appeal to a wide range of practitioners and researchers concerned with alcohol and drug problems as well as to therapists in other areas.
- This work serves as a timely review of psychological treatments in the addictions and provides a rare combination of expertise both from addiction specialists and those in other fields who use psychotherapeutic approaches to treat a broad variety of personal problems. Its coverage includes contextual ideas that are basic to any approach to therapy, and an exploration of particular treatment strategies. Throughout, this volume is able to provide both authoritative statements and to engage the reader in the excitement of debate.
- Treatment of the ever-increasing variety of addictive behaviours involves a wide range of psychotherapeutic and cognitive-behavioural approaches. Over recent years, initiatives have been established to appraise critically the usefulness of psychotherapy in many areas of psychiatry.
