VERY PLEASED WITH THIS BOOK by L. Ryan (Green Valley, CA)

The book got here in a couple of days and it was in great shape. I selected the lowest possible price meaning it was one of the olders books of this type up for sale, and I was surprised to find that the book was in such great condition. It seemed hardly used at all. I needed this quickly for a college course.

This book is a must for every clinician working in the field. I use the material working with both adult and adolescent clients. The concepts are written in a manner which make it appropriate for any group/individual regardless of age, sex, education level, or ethnic background. The Spirituality exercises are the best I have ever seen.

This book teaches addiction counselors exactly what to do in treatment. It leaves no stone unturned and covers everything a counselor needs to know to offer the best treatment in the world. Besides the book makes you feel good about yourself. All of the major treatment centers in the US had a part in making this book great. At every center this book is within arms reach of every good counselor in the building. All counselors should have this book and use it often. I am a clinical director and I give it to all of my new counselors--they love it.
