Willpower's Not Enough: Understanding and Recovering from Addictions of Every Kind

Washton, Arnold M.

Self-Help

Harpercollins

Many people think that what the addict needs is willpower, but nothing could be further from the truth: When a person has already lost control over a drug or activity, attempts to control its use almost never work. Because the source of addiction isn't the drug or activity itself but a desire for a mood changer, successful recovery means ultimately changing the way we live, giving up the addictive life-style. Willpower's Not Enough will show you how to change your life-style and to recover from your addiction.

Treating Alcohol and Drug Problems in Psychotherapy Practice: Doing What Works

Providing a framework for treating substance use disorders (SUDs) in office-based psychotherapy, the second edition of this trusted work has been updated throughout and features two entirely new chapters. The authors show how clinicians from any background can leverage the therapeutic skills they already have to address clients' alcohol and drug problems competently and effectively. Vivid case examples demonstrate ways to engage clients at different stages of change; set collaborative treatment goals; address SUDs concurrently with other psychological problems; and interweave motivational, cognitive-behavioral, and other interventions, tailored to each individual's needs. Reproducible forms and handouts can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.\nNew to This Edition 
*Chapter on evidence-based principles and interventions. 
*Chapter on moderation-focused alcohol treatment. 
*Revised throughout with current data, clinical techniques, and examples. 
*Reflects over 15 years of important changes in the field--increased demand for integrated treatment, the ongoing opioid crisis, the growth of harm reduction and medication-assisted treatments, and more.
