Product Description
The treatment of coexisting chemical dependency and psychiatric disorders has long been a serious challenge for care providers. With the advent of managed care, counselors, case managers, and other professionals increasingly are called upon to treat very ill and troubled clients in outpatient settings. Updated for today's health care climate, the revised and expanded second edition of this popular volume offers a thorough introduction to clinical work with this difficult-to-treat population. Providing a unique synthesis of chemical dependency and mental health models, the book articulates a framework for assessment and treatment and describes a range of effective counseling and motivational strategies for adolescents and adults. Updated to DSM-IV, the second edition includes discussions of the latest developments in treatment, sample treatment plans, increased coverage of ways to incorporate 12-step concepts into mental health interventions, and a new section on trauma-based disorders in addicted female adolescents. As in the first edition, the practical utility of the volume is enhanced by numerous clinical vignettes and clearly presented tables to aid in assessment. Appendices feature helpful reproducible forms.

Dual Diagnosis January 11, 2007

As someone who has been a treatment provider for people with addictive disease and co-occurring disorders for over 20 years, I am very grateful to have such a fine, practical resource for becoming a better provider. Dual Diagnosis, Counseling the Mentally Ill Substance Abuser, Second Edition, by Katie Evans and Dr. J. Michael Sullivan, is, in my opinion the best book out today that addresses the treatment challenge of providing care for this group of individuals. They preserve the integrity of the tried and true, abstinence-based, 12 Step program apporach to treating addiction, while also offering professionals a comprehensive approach to incorporating psychiatric services for other disorders that are present with the addicted person. I thank them for this excellent book. Chip Abernathy, LPC, CAC. Smyrna, GA

This is written by and for clinicians. There is enough general information for the trainee and practical tools for the more seasoned therapist. I find it hard to find comprehensive works on dual diagnosis and addiction. I highly highly recommend this book.
