Practitioners and students of psychiatry, psychology, and other mental health and medical disciplines.

Cr�ticas

"Frances and Miller, experienced clinicians in substance abuse treatment, have developed a second edition that improves on an already helpful text. In this era of limited financial resources for substance abuse treatment, the authors provide practical information on what treatments are available; how to select among them; timing and setting for various interventions; and negotiating the difficult lines between support, motivational enhancement, boundary-setting, and confrontation. This is a useful resource for beginning and seasoned practitioners alike." --Herbert D. Kleber, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Director of Division on Substance Abuse, Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons "A definitive volume that belongs in the personal library of every addiction professional, this newly revised and expanded edition surpasses its already excellent predecessor in its impressive coverage of a wide range of clinically relevant topics. Front-line practitioners, researchers, educators, and students alike will benefit from reading this book. With topics ranging from brain and other biological mechanisms underlying addiction to the specifics of assessment, diagnosis, and patient-treatment matching, the volume describes some of the most exciting advances in our understanding and treatment of addictive disorders. Frances and Miller have once again given us access to the experience and wisdom of some of the most respected clinicians in the field." --Arnold M. Washton, PhD, Executive Director, Center for Addiction Psychology, New York, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, NYU School of Medicine, New York "For those who are preparing for their board examinations in addiction psychiatry, this textbook may serve as a study guide and starting point for a more detailed review. For general psychiatrists, the text includes sufficient detail to help them through most clinical situations they may face in daily practice." -- Journal of Clinical Psychiatry "This is an excellent book....The new version contains a considerable amount of information that was unavailable at the time of the original edition. More has been learned about specific drug receptors, and the epidemiology has been considerably improved and updated....By keeping this book concise and managing to keep it under 700 pages, the authors provide us with a textbook that is quick to read and easy to digest. I have found over the years that residents enjoy this book and can learn from it readily....The clinician will find this textbook useful and handy in a busy practice. As a certified addictions specialist, I have found it useful in my day-to-day practice for references and other materials. I highly recommend this book and will certainly keep a copy of it on my shelf." -- American Journal of Psychiatry "A key text in the field....Describes important refinements to treatment methodologies, including new treatments for dual diagnosis. References have been updated throughout, and five new chapters have been added covering substance abuse among women and minority populations, management in primary care settings, pharmacological treatment approaches, and forensic issues....An essential addition to all academic and professional reference libraries in the field ofaddictive disorders and their treatment." -- The Midwest Book Review "For those who are preparing for their board examinations in addiction psychiatry, this textbook may serve as a study guide and starting point for a more detailed review.
