This is a
significant revision and update from the 1993 edition of this
popular clinical guide. Written for substance abuse and mental
health professionals from all disciplines, this book provides a
comprehensive overview of dual disorders. It addresses issues
pertinent to any combination of disorders—prevalence, etiology
(including a new section on addiction and the brain), effects,
assessment, treatment, and relapse prevention strategies—as well as
specific psychiatric disorders. This updated version has expanded
the focus on family issues, developing dual diagnosis programs,
group treatments and relapse prevention. Both Dr. Daley and Dr. Moss
are clinicians and researchers, and integrate empirical, clinical
and self-help literature, as well as their extensive experiences
developing and managing dual disorders treatment programs. Provides
several hundred references (books and journal articles).
