- Synopsis
- A clinical psychologist argues for a new model for the treatment of clients with alcohol and substance abuse problems. Inviting clinicians to reexamine their beliefs about substance use as a disease or a moral failing, she states that drugs are used for many different reasons and with different outcomes. Emphasizing treatment of the whole person rather than the drug use alone, she offers concrete treatment strategies based on the idea of reducing harm done by drug use while respecting each client's life choices.
