Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive clinical resource for addiction counselors who want to learn about the psychological components of the problem, for individual therapists—dynamic, cognitive, and behavioral—who want to understand systems approaches in order to draw on a broader repertoire of useful interventions, and for couple and family therapists who want to learn more about the intrapsychic, biological, and pharmacological aspects of addiction. Dr. Jerome D. Levin takes the reader down the parallel paths of addiction treatment and individual and family therapy until they meet on the bridge of actual clinical practice. Practitioner, professor, prolific author, and respected authority in the field, Dr. Levin uses approaches to the treatment of alcoholism as a model for illustrating how theory, research, technique, and flying by the seat of the professional pants can integrate into a therapeutic style to help substance abusers and their partners and families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research in the treatment of alcoholism has shown that the involvement of a spouse or partner improves outcome for the client.

The volume demonstrates how to engage the alcoholic's partner as an active participant in the treatment process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both research and clinical findings indicate a significant reciprocal relationship between marital-family interactions and abusive drinking: Chronic problem drinking is often a component in marital and familial discord; and, conversely, positive marital and family adjustment is clearly associated with better alcohol treatment outcomes. An ideal resource, this volume is a practical guide to the most up-to-date marital and family therapy practices that have been shown to be effective in treating alcohol problems. Chapters by leading clinician-researchers present practical "how to" information on research-tested methods for use at different stages of the alcoholism recovery process. Each chapter includes an overview of the specific method under consideration and detailed guidelines for implementation. Special clinical considerations are discussed, and a summary of current knowledge regarding efficacy as well as an extensive reference list are included. Illustrative case examples are provided throughout. Part I describes strategies for initiating change and helping the family when the alcoholic is unwilling to seek help on his own. Chapters cover unilateral family therapy, community reinforcement training for families, the Johnson Institute intervention approach, and a group program designed to help the wives of treatment-resistant alcoholics decrease their own emotional distress and examine their options. Chapters in Part II present methods drawn from a variety of theoretical approaches for stabilizing sobriety when the alcoholic has sought help in both inpatient and outpatient treatment centers. Approaches discussed include an eclectic approach to family treatment in short-term detoxification, the Hazelden residential family program, a behavioral marital therapy couples group program, an alcohol-focused spouse involvement with behavioral marital therapy, systemic couples therapy for alcohol-abusing women, and family therapy for adolescent alcohol abuse. Strategies for maintaining long-term recovery and preventing relapse, including behavioral contracts between alcoholics and family members, couples relapse prevention sessions, and an outpatient couples therapy program based on Marlatt and Gordon's model of the relapse process, are described in Part III. Finally, ways to deal with alcohol problems encountered by practitioners outside the alcoholism treatment setting and directions for future research are explored in Part IV. Timely and relevant, Treating Alcohol Problems is designed for clinical psychologists, marital and family therapists, counselors, and social workers working with alcohol problems. Perfect as a teaching text, this book provides carefully developed, well-conceived marital and family therapy methods that have been shown to be effective with this difficult clinical problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Most mental health professionals are ill prepared to help the alcoholic or drug abuser to recover, even though addicted people and their families regularly turn to them for help. For many such patients, years of therapy have meant that they have achieved "insight," but their drinking has continued." "How can we engage and treat these troubled people more effectively? In this book, Marc Galanter outlines an innovative approach to office-based addiction treatment in which the therapist assembles a support network of family members and friends to meet with the patient and therapist at regular intervals. The bonds of social cohesion in the network aid the patient in overcoming denial, achieving abstinence, and avoiding relapse. The network approach thereby provides a remarkably effective vehicle for bringing substance abusers into treatment and helping them achieve recovery." "This is also the first approach to the treatment of substance abuse that integrates individual psychotherapy with support from family and friends. It employs contemporary approaches like relapse prevention, and helps introduce patients to Alcoholics Anonymous. Dr. Galanter defines how treatment is implemented and then illustrates his technique with many case studies. He provides a full explanation of what addiction is, from both a psychological and a pharmacological perspective. The book demonstrates that addicted people can be treated effectively with this combination of individual therapy, self-help, and peer support."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book excerpt: "This invaluable work will contribute much to the battle against our number one disease."—from the Foreword by George McGovern, former senator and author of Terry: My Daughter's Life-and-Death Struggle with Alcoholism Alcoholism is a disease. It's time we started treating it like one. Science has offered undisputed proof that alcoholism is a disease rather than a weakness of character, yet millions of alcoholics continue to suffer due to inappropriate treatment. Now the co-author of the modern classic Under the Influence has teamed up with prominent alcoholism experts to provide new answers to this national epidemic. Based on the latest scientific research, Beyond the Influence clearly explains the neurological nature of the disease and reveals why some people drink addictively and others do not. It also spells out what needs to be done to treat alcoholism, including: Steps to take for an intervention How to find the right treatment program Which psychological approaches work best Why spirituality is essential to recovery New insights into relapse prevention What you should know about diet, exercise, and nontraditional treatments such as acupuncture Provocative and eye-opening, compelling and compassionate, Beyond the Influence is not only a message of hope for alcoholics--it is a blueprint for saving lives. Beyond the Influence explains that alcoholism is a disease of the body, not a weakness of character. Drawing on the latest scientific studies, the authors present new research on the central role of genetics and neurotransmitters in addiction. Continuing where the prior book left off, it also includes: Steps for diagnosis and intervention, plus ways to prevent relapses Various treatment models, including inpatient and out-patient programs and a review of new drug treatments The most effective types of psychological counseling The critical role of nutrition Non-traditional healing methods for recovery The importance of a spiritual component to recovery The authors also critique our nation's alcoholism policies, including education and prevention programs, efforts to curtail college bingeing and underage drinking, and the advertising and marketing strategies of the alcohol industry.
