Solutions Step by Step: A Substance Abuse Treatment Manual

A practical guide introducing the solution-focused approach to clinicians working with substance abusers. Stressing solutions rather than pathology, clients' strengths and their strategies for past successes rather than their weaknesses or problems, this team utilizes a solution-building approach by discovering and exploring the ways substance abusers heal themselves. The book covers solution-focused therapy one step at a time. Bursting with case examples, quick tips, and questions "from the field", this is a reader-friendly manual.
