“A richly designed text and resource tool for graduate counseling students as well as the novice and seasoned professional substance abuse therapist.”
—Family Journal (on the second edition)
“An excellent practical reference….The book includes enough information on different types of substance abuse to communicate how treatment must be adapted for different drugs of abuse.”
—Social Work (on the first edition)
“Straussner and Steen have captured the voices of today’s leading experts in substance use treatment, creating an authoritative, practice-ready volume for today’s classrooms. Clinically grounded, accessible, and contemporary, the book equips students and practitioners to understand substance use disorders across individuals, families, systems, and communities. I recommend this text for graduate-level courses in substance use treatment, clinical practice, behavioral health, and trauma-informed care, as well as for professional training settings. Updated attention to evidence-informed interventions, harm reduction, peer support, integrative care, specific populations, and emerging policy issues makes the fourth edition indispensable for preparing the next generation of behavioral health professionals.”
—Rebecca J. Gomez, PhD, Associate Professor, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, and David Johnson Fellow in Social Work, The University of Texas at Austin
“Straussner has done it again! For the fourth edition, she is joined by new coeditor Steen to compile an up-to-date, comprehensive work. This book is a 'must-have' resource for any beginning or experienced clinician seeking guidance on assessment and intervention with clients experiencing substance use disorders.”
—Lisa Berger, PhD, Helen Bader School of Social Welfare, University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee
“The fourth edition of this text is based on the most contemporary, forward-looking knowledge in addiction services, including the importance of deep respect for every person, understanding persons in their environments, the essential role of personal motivation and supportive human relationships in treatment success, and harm reduction. The contributors are respected leaders who lucidly introduce contemporary treatment approaches and provide references for further clinical skill building. Chapters on special populations are useful for understanding clients’ social contexts. The book ends with a thoughtful chapter on the impact of current policy and advances emerging from technology. A strong resource for new and experienced practitioners, this book conveys up-to-date, substantive knowledge and is packed with useful techniques and clinical cases.”
—Lynn Videka, PhD, Dean Emerita, School of Social Work, University of Michigan
