Description: "This useful volume, the result of more than ten years of work in researching and refining the techniques most likely to lead to positive client outcomes, offers field-tested methods for dealing with the most challenging addicted client types. These include hopeless clients, clients considered to be in denial, and those who are in treatment not because they desire it, but because of a mandate from an outside authority.

The techniques you'll find in Solutions for the "Treatment Resistant" Addicted Client have proven to be successful with even the most difficult clients.".

"Alcohol and drug counselors, probation/parole officers, social workers, and other mental health professionals who work with addicted clients will find this book an invaluable aid in their work. Students preparing to enter these careers, as well as those preparing for certification as alcohol or drug abuse counselors, also need the information found here.

Solutions for the "Treatment Resistant" Addicted Client is must reading for anyone dealing with this extraordinarily difficult population."--BOOK JACKET.
