Description
Addiction: A Human Experience fosters a greater awareness of those who develop substance abuse problems and the treatment of these individuals. The book provides a basic overview of the addiction process, with a special focus on what the experience is like for the addicted person. The second edition also implements the new DSM-5 criteria. The book focuses on theories concerning why people become addicted, the role of counselors, and the relapse and recovery process. The material also addresses spirituality, as well as harm reduction and relapse prevention. Numerous case examples serve to illustrate real-world experiences with addiction and the recovery process. Other specific items covered include: Understanding the Effects of Addiction on Thinking Twelve Step Sober Support Groups Gorski's Relapse Process Romantic Relationships in Early Recovery Addiction as a Family Disease Process Addictions Co-occurring Disorders Designed to be a supplement to standard psychology textbooks addressing substance abuse, Addiction: A Human Experience gives readers a deeper understanding of--and compassion for--those seeking treatment for their addiction.
