Clinical Work with Substance-Abusing Clients, First Edition (Guilford Substance Abuse Series) - Softcover

'Rich, comprehensive, up-to-date... [This volume] provides tools that beginning clinicians can pick up and run with in any treatment setting, while advanced therapists will value the depth, clarity, and range of coverage. This is truly a book to be read cover to cover and consulted repeatedly in working with particular kinds of addiction or special issues. It’s perfect for the classroom or for the practicing clinician seeking an encyclopedic reference. From first-rate authors and a first-rate editor, an outstanding text.' - Stephanie Brown, PhD, The Addictions Institute, Menlo Park, California

'An extremely useful, much-needed text for graduate students and direct practitioners searching for effective ways to help substance-abusing clients. Dr. Straussner is a leading scholar and clinician in the field of substance abuse treatment. She and her colleagues bridge the gap between theory and practice and clearly articulate what has been shown scientifically to work with this particular population.' - Joseph P. Ryan, PhD, Children and Family Research Center, School of Social Work, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
