Separates the facts from the myths: evidence-based practical guidance on dealing with drug and substance abuse by a leading US expert. Health professionals in a range of settings are bound to meet clients with troubles related to drugs. The literature on their diagnosis and treatment is filled with successful, empirically based approaches, but also with controversy and hearsay. Separating the myths from the facts can be difficult. This text does so, providing trainees and professionals with a handy, concise guide for helping problem drug users build enjoyable, multifaceted lives using approaches based on decades of
research. Readers will be able to improve their intuitions and clinical skills by adding an overarching understanding of drug use and the development of problems that translates into appropriate techniques for encouraging clients to change behavior themselves. Each strategy and process rests on maintaining a genuine, empathic, therapeutic relationship. The highly readable text explains not only what to do, but when and how to do it. Seasoned experts and those new to the field will welcome the chance to review the latest developments in guiding self-change for this intriguing, prevalent set of problems.

[...] a useful introduction to evidence-based practice in [the area of substance use problems]. --Lt Col NK Cooper FRCSEd FFOM RAMC, Consultant Occupational Physician Bielefeld ROHT, Dr JP Hames MMedPsych, MRCPsych, Consultant Psychiatrist DCMHTidworth in the Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps, Vol. 165, 2010
Valuable contribution to the field of addiction medicine. [...] This volume is worthy reader-friendly book intended for therapists. It reads as an experiential distillation of practical knowledge from years of clinical and academic experience in problematic substance use, treatment, and research. The stated objective is '[to provide] trainees and professionals with a handy, concise guide for helping problem drug users ... [and] improve [readers'] intuitions and clinical skills by adding an overarching understanding of drug use.' It is this writer's opinion that Dr. Earleywine has done so. --Cher Yao Chen Chen, M. D. in Psychiatric Services, Vol. 61, No. 10, Oct 2010
.. this brief text will be most useful to those who have yet to acquire any experience in the field of addictionology such as students or, perhaps, even seasoned clinicians who had never taken a substance-abuse-related course [...] I found this volume to be very informative despite my 30 years of practice, and I learned a great deal from Earleywine s excellent discussion of motivational interviewing, information that I will undoubtedly be able to use with future patients. --Gregory Mavrides in PsycCRITIQUES, 2010
