Description

Addiction in Human Development provides fresh perspectives on treating addictions and supporting recovering alcohol and drug abusers. This book offers practical strategies based on human development theories to help therapists and counselors work with clients in every phase of treatment. By understanding these theories, professionals can recognize stages of recovery and select the most effective interventions. The book explores how a developmental perspective is particularly useful for treating alcohol and substance abuse, including patterns involved in addiction and disruptions in childhood or adolescent development that can influence recovery. The author provides tools to interrupt addictive patterns, identifies stages in the developmental process of recovery, and discusses topics such as developmental deficits, delayed reactions to trauma, and multi-problem families with a history of substance abuse.
