Van Wormer/Davis' ADDICTION TREATMENT: A STRENGTHS PERSPECTIVE, 5th Edition, covers biological, psychological and social aspects of alcohol and eating disorders, gambling and other addictions. 12-step and harm-reduction approaches are connected to show how clients are guided down paths tailored to their needs. Data from student surveys, including high school and college students, reveals experiences with alcohol, misuse of prescriptions, vaping, marijuana and other drugs. Sections on marketing, fraternities, casinos, legalization of marijuana and the link between sexual abuse, domestic violence and alcohol intoxication allow for dynamic discussions. Whether or not addiction is in your family, you will find the the text relevant to your own life. First-person narratives about addiction and interviews with practitioners will highlight career possibilities that you might not have considered.
