Theory and Practice of Addiction Counseling

Theory and Practice of Addiction Counseling\nby Pamela S. Lassiter and John R. Culbreth brings together contemporary theories of addiction and helps readers connect those theories to practice using a common multicultural case study. Theories covered include motivational interviewing, moral theory, developmental theory, cognitive behavioral theories, attachment theory, and sociological theory. Each chapter focuses on a single theory, describing its basic tenets, philosophical underpinnings, key concepts, and strengths and weaknesses. Each chapter also shows how practitioners using the theory would respond to a common case study, giving readers the opportunity to compare how the different theoretical approaches are applied to client situations. A final chapter discusses approaches to relapse prevention.\nBook details\nPage Numbers Source ISBN:\n1506317332\nPublisher:\nSAGE Publications, Inc; 1 edition (February 17, 2017)\nPublication Date:\nMarch 23, 2017\nLanguage:\nEnglish\nASIN:\nB07C6KWWXW
