Overview

"This volume reviews a range of empirically supported approaches to dealing with the growing problems of substance use and abuse among young people. While admission to specialized treatment programs is relatively rare in today's health care climate, there are many opportunities for brief interventions. Brief interventions also allow the clinician to work with the teen on his or her ""home turf,"" emphasize autonomy and personal responsibility, and can be used across the full range of teens who are engaging in health-risk behavior. Bringing together a multidisciplinary group of experts, the volume reviews general principles of harm reduction and the stages of change, discusses developmental considerations, and outlines key components of assessment and intervention. Chapters then describe specific applications that can typically be implemented in one to five sessions, including alcohol skills training, integrative behavioral and family therapy, motivational interviewing, interventions for dually diagnosed youth, and use of the Internet for education, prevention, and treatment. The volume is extensively referenced and includes numerous clinical illustrations and vignettes."

Reviews

'This book covers its subject like no other in the field. With clarity, breadth, and depth, it illuminates the development of problems among teens, the social forces that surround them, and the reality of difficult clinical encounters. Many of the chapters in this volume amount to landmark reviews of their topics. The authors have provided a sourcebook that will be invaluable not just for students, but also for clinicans and researchers. To accomplish this with such sympathy toward the predicament of so many teens is a real achievement' - Stephen Rollnick, PhD, University of Wales College of Medicine; 'We finally have a book that recognizes the important differences between adolescent and adult substance abuse. Filling an important need, this is perhaps the best available work on understanding and intervening in the hazardous use of alcohol and other drugs by adolescents. The book is based on solid science and loaded with clinical insight. It is a 'must' read for clinicians and researchers in the field and an excellent background text for all who who treat adolescents.' - David C. Lewis, MD, Brown University; 'Researchers and practitioners looking for better ways to study, prevent, and treat youth alcohol and substance abuse will find this volume invaluable. It presents cutting-edge research on brief interventions for healt care, behavioral health, school, and community settings. It also provides fresh perspectives on how emerging transdisciplinary research paradigms and communication technologies can be used to improve the appeal, reach, and impact of treatments designed for adolescents.' - C. Tracy Orleans, PhD, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation;
