COUNSELING

NEW EDITION!
Addiction Treatment covers the biological, psychological, and social aspects of alcoholism,
eating disorders, compulsive gambling, and other addictions. The authors bridge the
gap between the popular twelve-step and harm-reduction approaches, thus illuminating
how practitioners can guide clients down a trusted path that is tailored toward the
clients particular needs. Through a number of first-person narratives about the
experience of addiction, students will discover a realism and depth not commonly
found in textbooks. In addition, the authors include student-friendly topics to draw
students into the material and illustrate the importance of reducing harm within the
biopsychological framework that ties the text together.
