Description
Substance Use Disorders: Assessment and Treatment is a summary of everything a therapist should know about substance
abuse in one easy-to-read comprehensive book. The book begins with a discussion of the pharmacology of specific drug classes (opioids,
hallucinogens, etc.) and the epidemiology of abuse. It then presents psychological theories of substance abuse, the initiation and progression
of substance abuse disorders, issues of prevention and early intervention, and screening and assessment for substance abuse (including
specific tests for assessment) and discusses in detail the various treatment methodologies available. Two final chapters explore issues
relevant to special populations and legal and ethical considerations, regarding issues such as confidentiality and coerced treatment.
Audience
All Psychotherapists: psychologists; social workers; nurses; drug/alcohol counselors; psychiatrists; other physicians. Psychotherapists
specializing in the assessment and treatment of psychoactive substance use disorders. Psychotherapists preparing for certification exams
in the assessment and treatment of PSUD's.
*Due to international concern over substance abuse, should be of interest in any English-speaking
country
