Description

The Spectrum of Addiction discusses the full range of addictive behaviors and habits and focuses on clinical application in a variety of settings. Following the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual's (DSM-V) recent recategorization of addition, authors Laura Veach and Regina Moro teach clinicians-in-training to view addiction on a spectrum that ranges from experimentation to physical addiction and recovery and to take into consideration the degree to which individuals display addictive traits and behaviors. With its focus on evidence-based treatment approaches, presentation of addictive behaviors across the lifespan, and inclusion of clinical case narratives, The Spectrum of Addiction serves as a practical text for counselors, psychologists, and social workers.
