Summary:

The third volume in the Key Readings in Addiction Psychiatry series, Psychosocial Treatments focuses on the most current and efficacious psychosocial therapies utilized in the treatment of substance use disorders. The editors of this volume have assembled the most recent articles by eminent researchers that address key elements of the commonly used psychosocial interventions, including relapse prevention therapy, community reinforcement, voucher-based programs, self-help therapies, and motivational enhancement therapies. Along with evidence-based articles that demonstrate the efficacy of these approaches, this handy reference combines research, case studies, and theory to provide readers with a comprehensive evaluation of the major psychosocial therapies used in treatment of addictions. The selections in this book present the reader with a broad overview of the field as well as the specific information needed to use these therapies in a variety of clinical settings. The last decade has been witness to considerable improvements in the understanding, development, and application of several different psychosocial intervention techniques that have been shown effective in controlled research studies. This text has been compiled with the goal of incorporating this information on the treatment of addictions in one incisive text that will encourage the use of these therapies by clinicians working with many types of patients and in various settings.
