The book examines why people form addictions, the counselor’s role, the thinking process, the family’s role, the recovery process, harm reduction, and relapse prevention. Case examples are embedded to illustrate real-world experiences. Also covered are twelve-step and sober support groups, relationships in early recovery, co-occurring disorders, and more.
This latest edition includes greater depth into cognitive distortions, sexual behavior, process addiction, and updated theories. Intended to supplement standard psychology textbooks addressing substance abuse, Addiction: A Human Experience (Fourth Edition) gives readers a deeper understanding of—and compassion for—those seeking treatment for addiction, while also including a new Active Learning companion for students.
