Description - Chemically Dependent by Barbara C. Wallace

This volume explores the concept of tailoring treatment of chemical dependency to specific phases of recovery. The first section delineates progressive treatment models based on the current view that the phase of recovery determines the appropriateness of a given treatment modality - inpatient, outpatient, or long-term therapeutic community. The second section describes psychoanalytic/psychodynamic strategies and explains the role of individual psychotherapy throughout recovery. The third section examines cognitive-behavioural, self-help, and relapse prevention techniques. The fourth section discusses current trends in research and their implications for treatment. The final section considers the impact of various population characteristics on treatment design.
