Solutions for the Treatment Resistant Addicted Client: Therapeutic Techniques for Engaging Challenging Clients

The techniques you will learn in this book avoid generating resistance on the part of the client and are easily integrated into any treatment model. You'll also find case studies, practice worksheets, and suggestions for therapeutic tasks to assign to your clients.Visit the author's website at www.newhopemanor.org.To view an excerpt online, find the book in our QuickSearch catalog at www.HaworthPress.com.
