Patients W/ Sub Abuse Problems Cl

This book assembles general information on addictive disorders -- how to recognize the problem, determine its depth, diagnose correctly, and treat successfully. Unlike most books on the subject that focus on specific treatment regimens, here readers will be given general tools that they can use for all patients with possible drug or alcohol abuse.

Edgar P. Nace is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Medical Director at Turtle Creek Manor in Dallas.
