Alcohol Use Disorders

Alcohol problems are widespread in our society and many approaches to treatment are used, some more successful than others. This volume in the new series, Advances in Psychotherapy: Evidence-Based Practice, provides therapists and students with practical and evidence-based guidance on diagnosis and treatment of alcohol problems, and does so in a uniquely reader-friendly manner. The book is both a compact how-to reference, for use by professional clinicians in their daily work, as well as an ideal educational resource for students and for practice-oriented continuing education. The most important feature of the book is that it is practical and reader-friendly. It has a similar structure to others in the series, and is a compact and easy-to-follow guide, covering all aspects of practice that are relevant in real-life. Tables, boxed clinical pearls, and marginal notes assist orientation, while checklists for copying and summary boxes provide tools for use in daily practice.
