About this title

Synopsis

For more than three decades, the Johnson Institute model of structured intervention has been practiced successfully by those who understand the process. This is not a static or rigid process. It is continually being refined to address the realities of modern life. Underlying it all is a foundation of compassion and respect for the dignity of each human being.

Intervention, when it is properly planned and carried out with respect, is highly effective. It saves lives, restores shattered careers, and brings families and friends together again.

This book is a step-by-step professional's guide for preparing families and other concerned persons to intervene effectively with those who are dependent on alcohol or other drugs.

It answers these questions: When is intervention not appropriate? How does intervention work with different populations? How do I select a qualified facilitator? Is surprise really important, and is it ethical? How can professionals protect themselves against legal action? What are the qualities of an excellent treatment program? If the intervention doesn't work, what will I tell the family and other concerned persons? ...and much more.

Says Dr. Vernon E. Johnson, originator of the process: "Properly done, intervention works every time. Properly done, there are no failures."

This book describes the proper process and explains why it always leads to success.

Who can benefit from this guide? All helping professionals: chemical dependence counselors, employee assistance counselors, family physicians, judges, lawyers, marriage and family therapists, nurses, probation officers, personnel directors, psychiatrists, psychologists, teachers, and the clergy.
