Learning the Language of Addiction Counseling, Second Edition offers an illuminating view of the clinical, theoretical, and research work that comprises the addiction counseling field. Presenting a pragmatic counseling framework rather than trying to reconcile differing theories, this helpful text gives readers the knowledge and guidance needed to choose appropriate techniques and best practices for treating addicted individuals.
Throughout the text, case studies and interactive exercises assist readers in applying knowledge gained, whether in a self–teaching or a classroom setting. Addiction counseling expert and teacher Geri Miller presents a wide variety of topics designed to increase skills and understanding––from cutting–edge research to the latest in the self–help/grassroots therapy movement.
Fully revised and expanded, this Second Edition covers:
∗ Theories of counseling related to addiction treatment
∗ Assessment and diagnosis of addiction using interviews, behavioral observations, andphysiological and psychometric instruments
∗ Assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of dual disorders
∗ The treatment process for addictions, including crisis intervention and individual, group, and family therapy
∗ Relapse prevention
∗ Treatment–related issues such as rape and sexual abuse, sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS, domestic violence, and eating disorders
∗ Self–help groups
∗ Current and evolving therapy approaches and techniques, including positive psychology, resilience, the stages–of– change model, motivational interviewing, and brief therapy
∗ Special treatment issues such as those related to gender, ethnicity, disability, adolescence, the elderly, and the homeless
∗ Personal and professional development of the counselor, including ethical issues, court testimony, working in difficult situations, self–care, and other issues in working with addicts
∗ Preparing for certification and licensure as an addiction professional
The most comprehensive, up–to–date, and user–friendly resource available, Learning the Language of Addiction Counseling, Second Edition offers a powerful learning tool for both students and professionals.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
