Reviews
This book is not written specifically for or by social workers; however, it provides clear, contemporary discussions of practice principles with great relevance and applicability to the social work profession....One of the great strengths of this book lies in its presentation of conceptual frameworks and models related to substance abuse and psychiatric illness....Overall, this book is interesting, well written, and well researched. It would be useful for social work educators seeking basic tools for MSW practice/field courses and for specialized doctoral-level social work education. It is also a good resource for social work students and social work practitioners who want up-to-date training about substance abuse, severe mental illness, and to know what happens when these are experienced together. -- Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions Offers a comprehensive guide to the unified treatment of an often overlooked population. The information contained in this publication will enable mental health professionals and facilities to design and implement a treatment program tailored to the special needs of the dual-disordered individual. The authors provide uncommon insight into the challenges of comorbid psychiatric and substance use disorders front the differing perspectives of the client, the family, and the clinician. -- Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy <br> Excellent....The book's strengths are numerous. It emphasizes shared decision making....The book espouses the general spirit of motivational interviewing (MI)....The book describes the assessment process in great detail and suggests an excellent selection of instruments. It provides solid evidence...to supportlong-term integrated treatment....it has excellent clinical examples of individual dual disorder treatment plans. -- The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry <br>.,. the authors of this guide far exceed their declared purpose....This text is very user-friendly....this text is a most useful guide for the organization and implementation of effective treatment planning in the dual diagnosis population. It serves to remind psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers/case managers, and medical students that compassion, appropriately defined goals, and evidence-based treatment can be both effective for patients and rewarding to the practitioners who care for them. -- Journal of Clinical Psychiatry <br>.,. the appendixes are chock-full of useful tools: educational handouts that can be used with individual patients, groups, and families; assessment instruments; and treatment planning worksheets. Clinicians of all backgrounds and disciplines will find Integrated Treatment for Dual Disorders easy to read and useful. I recommend using it the way I have--read it cover-to-cover, then keep it on your desk and refer to it frequently. With this book at hand, all clinicians will feel more comfortable and better equipped to treat an especially challenging group of patients. -- Psychiatric Services <br> Talk about an intervention--this book is a monumental event for our profession, because it reintegrates us. At the same time, it is a roll-up-your-sleeves, this-is-how-you-do-it manual for daily work in the field....This would be a terrific book even if it arrived only with the appendices. No fewer than 106 of the 470 total pages constitute assessment instruments, educational handouts and documentsfor treatment planning. The lay-flat binding of the book allows for photocopying, and permission to reproduce these instruments is available for most handouts....For those of us who live mostly via the prescription pad, it is just what the doctor ordered. -- Psychiatric Times <br> The book functions both as a treatment guide to counseling dual disorder clients and as a guide to the effective administration of dual disorder programs and services....the heart of the book and its greatest strength is the clinical advice given by experienced professionals....The book's integrated approach is a valuable addition to the treatment literature for dual disorders and should be very helpful to clinicians and administrators working to help this population. Recommended highly for university libraries serving clinical psychology or counseling programs. -- E-Streams <br> This book is a strong overview of and proponent for integrated treatment of complex psychiatric disorders....The book gives a framework to understanding and treating one of the most difficult patient populations and also broadens the reader's perspective. 5 Stars! -- Doody's Electronic Journal <p> A professor designing a graduate course to investigate how the criminal justice system deals with mentally ill people should certainly include [this book]....Provide[s] basic technical knowledge about service delivery in general, information on specific groups of people, and information about specific disorders and treatments. Correctional staff members who need information about service delivery are well advised to consult [this book]....Provide[s] a wealth of technical information and also provide[s] a good staring point by which tounderstand correctional health care....Provide[s] needed, valuable information about the mental health and criminal justice interface. -- Criminal Justice Review <br>
An outstanding resource for clinicians. The text is remarkable for its comprehensiveness, clarity, practical suggestions, and wealth of reproducible forms and handouts. Social workers will find the book especially useful, as it covers many aspects of treatment that are frequently overlooked, such as case management, family work, residential programs, and employment. This book will serve as a blueprint for providing integrated treatment for dual disorders. --Susan Gingerich, MSW, independent consultant and trainer, Narberth, Pennsylvania <br> Mueser and his colleagues--all internationally recognized experts in their field--have given us a comprehensive, state-of-the-art volume to address empirically validated treatment for co-occurring disorders.

With its treatment fidelity checklist and implementation guidelines, this book should be required reading for all program managers and mental health administrators who seek to design an effective, integrated system of care or improve existing service delivery. Grounded in practical clinical experience and well informed by first-rate scholarship, the text includes a variety of client handouts and detailed, step-by-step advice on adopting 'best practice' standards. This outstanding book is an invaluable resource for administrators, supervisors, clinicians, and trainers in social work and other mental health fields. I find it to be very valuable in training new staff. In addition, I highly recommend this book as a text for advanced practice courses in social work, psychology, psychosocial rehabilitation, and psychiatric nursing.--Margaret V. Sherrer, MSW, Project Director, Co-Occurring Addictive and Mental Disorders Program, South Shore Mental Health Center, Charlestown, Rhode Island; designated trainer, RI Council of Community Mental Health Centers, Inc.Providing meaningful help to the addicted client with major mental illness is the most difficult and challenging task that mental health clinicians face. Mueser and colleagues have provided us with a truly helpful and empowering guide. It is the best book in its field--George E. Vaillant, MD, Harvard Medical SchoolIndividuals with severe mental illness and substance abuse are the most neglected group of psychiatric patients. This comprehensive textbook fills a major void and will be infinitely useful to clinicians, administrators, and clinicians-in-training. The authors have a national reputation for pioneering efforts to develop treatment models, and they have laid out a detailed plan for the rest of us to follow. Finally, clinicians have a cure for their dual diagnosis despair!--E. Fuller Torrey, MD, The Stanley Medical Research Institute, Bethesda, MDHelping clients with dual disorders represents one of the most challenging tasks for mental health clinicians and administrators. While there is an extensive scientific literature on the topic, few programs offer integrated, evidence-based treatment. This book has the potential to change that. Written by the experts on the topic, it is a comprehensive, well-written, state-of-the-art manual that explains what needs to be done and then describes how it should be done. This book should find a home in every mental health program that works with dually diagnosed clients, and should be required reading for every new clinician and program administrator.--Alan S.
