Motivating Substance Abusers to Enter Treatment Bewertungen

. - This book presents....an empirically based, nonconfrontational therapy program designed for the concerned significant other (CSO) who wants to motivate a partner or family member to seek help. I found the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) approach, presented by authors Smith and Meyers, to be progressive in its basic premise, practical, and generally applicable to counselors working in a variety of settings....For those clinicians who may not be confident in their knowledge of drinking or using behavior, the text provides vivid examples and a step-by-step process for getting started, guiding the CSO, identifying short- and long-term consequences for both the IP and the CSO, and ultimately how to help get the substance abuser into treatment. --The Family Journal, 11/22/2007ff This is an overview and comprehensive step-by-step guide to the implementation of the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) program for people with alcohol and drug problems....The book utilises numerous case examples, provides helpful suggestions on how best to broach difficult subjects, and ways to teach well-tested motivational, behavioral, and cognitive interventions that would be useful to a range of health and social care professionals....This program must be recommended for its emphasis on empowering family members, used to experiencing high levels of helplessness, as well as the strong evidence for the effectiveness of this program in motivating substance abusers to engage in treatment....Effective in providing a clear and detailed guide to initiating and delivering this program for practitioners in a range of clinical settings. --The Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling, and Psychotherapy, 11/22/2007
