Description
In this book the author presents material from recent clinical reports and research findings on the assessment and treatment of alcohol problems. Among the topics included are new uses of cognitive therapy, new developments in the uses of aversive procedures, and the important but neglected area of relapse prevention. Most importantly of all, Dr Clarke argues that total abstinence is not necessarily the preferred treatment for all alcoholics, since recent findings show that for some individuals controlled drinking is possible, while for others total abstinence is the only safe and reasonable treatment goal.With the inclusion of two chapters by Dr John B. Saunders on the medical management of alcohol problems, Alcoholism and Problem Drinking provides a comprehensive overview of the subject and detailed guidance for every stage of treatment. Throughout, Dr Clarke and Dr Saunders avoid partisan identification with any one theory of alcoholism or drinking problems. Instead, the emphasis is on step-by-step guidance in the selection and application of a variety of treatments.ISBN:008034433X
