 This book makes you feel good about yourself. May 11, 1999

At the last American Society of Addiction Medicine meeting in New York, I found out that most treatment centers were using this book. I read the text and I can see why. The book tells you how to do everything you need to know to treat addiction well. Besides, it makes you feel good about yourself and what you do as a counselor. The book is incredibly loving and healing for anyone to read, even the patient. It contains all of the tests and exercises needed to take a patient through treatment. It leaves no stone unturned.

I teach this college course to new counselors. By the time they are through with this treatment manual they really know what they are doing. Everything a counselor needs to know is covered. The book is informative, meticulously researched and fun. It makes students feel good about themselves. It is the simply best text in the business. I highly recommend this book.

I checked the most prominent treatment centers, and every one of them use this book to train their staff. At the American Society of Addiction Medicine this is the treatment they recommend and it's the one the doctors went through themselves. No question, this is the best book on chemical dependency counseling in the world today.

This book teaches addiction counselors exactly what to do in treatment. It leaves no stone unturned and covers everything a counselor needs to know to offer the best treatment in the world. Besides the book makes you feel good about yourself. All of the major treatment centers in the US had a part in making this book great. At every center this book is within arms reach of every good counselor in the building. All counselors should have this book and use it often. I am a clinical director and I give it to all of my new counselors--they love it.

This book is a must for every clinician working in the field. I use the material working with both adult and adolescent clients. The concepts are written in a manner which make it appropriate for any group/individual regardless of age, sex, education level, or ethnic background. The Spirituality exercises are the best I have ever seen.
