Reviews
This book fills an enormously important gap in the field with well-structured, organized, and useful content on competency-based addictions counseling. Through combining case scenarios, key credentialing requirements, and evidence-based practices, the authors make a vital contribution toward serving the needs of individuals who use drugs. This book will help create trained, thoughtful, and engaged addiction counseling professionals who can hit the ground running in their addictions counseling jobs. It can (and should) serve as a resource for students and professionals well beyond the classroom. * Ivy Krull, PhD, MPH, MSW, Assistant Professor, Emmanuel College; Senior Research Associate, Butler Institute for Families, University of Denver * Faulkner and Faulkner provide an exceptional contribution to the field of substance abuse treatment literature. Their inclusion of accreditation standards for the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Programs, and social work program accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education is most helpful for students contemplating a career treating substance abuse. A reader is guided through a complete process of substance abuse treatment, starting with intake and assessment and ending with aftercare and discharge planning. Multi-psychotherapeutic interventions are discussed, which is consistent with current best practices. Especially intriguing is the humanizing of academic content with a case history at each stage of the treatment and recovery process. * Robert Youdin, PhD, Visiting Research Collaborator, Princeton University *
