Description: "Because most substance abuse treatment today is provided to the criminal population, there is a pressing need for resources that gauge the effectiveness of treatment. From assessment and diagnosis through individual, family, and group interventions through monitoring probationers, this work will be an essential resource for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, criminologists, sociologists, correctional officers, and others working in community-based and institutional settings."--Jacket.
