Description

Alcohol problems are widespread in our society and many approaches to treatment are used, some more successful than others. This volume in the new series, Advances in Psychotherapy: Evidence-Based Practice, provides therapists and students with practical and evidence-based guidance on diagnosis and treatment of alcohol problems, and does so in a uniquely reader-friendly manner. The book is both a compact how-to reference, for use by professional clinicians in their daily work, as well as an ideal educational resource for students and for practice-oriented continuing education. The most important feature of the book is that it is practical and reader-friendly. It has a similar structure to others in the series, and is a compact and easy-to-follow guide, covering all aspects of practice that are relevant in real-life. Tables, boxed clinical pearls, and marginal notes assist orientation, while checklists for copying and summary boxes provide tools for use in daily practice.
