'Rich, comprehensive, up-to-date... [This volume] provides tools that beginning clinicians can pick up and run with in any treatment setting, while advanced therapists will value the depth, clarity, and range of coverage. This is truly a book to be read cover to cover and consulted repeatedly in working with particular kinds of addiction or special issues. It’s perfect for the classroom or for the practicing clinician seeking an encyclopedic reference. From first-rate authors and a first-rate editor, an outstanding text.' - Stephanie Brown, PhD, The Addictions Institute, Menlo Park, California
