[.ca] Substance Abuse: Information for School Counselors, ... (ISBN 0205403360)

Clear & Comprehensive:
This book is easy to read, easy to understand and covers substance abuse counseling concerns extremely well. As a graduate student in counseling, you get to read some really awful textbooks. This is NOT one of them. The book covers all aspects of addiction and helps the practioner consider his or her own biases and bases for treatment. The authors use case studies from their own practices to illustrate issues concerning assessment, diagnosis, intervention, relapse prevention, family issues and ACOAs, as well as the sticky area of ethics.
