"The authors present a practitioner-based how-to guide for implementing interventions in substance abuse treatment for youth and adults that reserves the evidence base for appendixes and utilizes the chapters themselves for step-by-step instruction." (Book News, September 2009)

"David Springer and Allen Rubin have compiled a valuable practice
guide for any professional who works with substance-abusing youth
or adults. This is a volume that should be on every practitioner's
bookshelf!"

-C. Aaron McNeece, Dean and Walter W. Hudson Professor
(Emeritus), College of Social Work, Florida State University

"This edited book is an important addition for clinicians
wishing to incorporate the latest in evidence-based practices into
their work with substance abusing clients. The detailed
descriptions, case examples and supportive materials in each
chapter provide invaluable guidelines to both beginning and
experienced clinicians. It is a book that belongs in the libraries
of all substance abuse educators, students and clinicians."

-S. Lala A. Straussner, Professor and Director,
Post-Master's Certificate Program in the Clinical Approaches to
Addictions Treatment, Silver School of Social Work, New York
University

"A major stumbling block to adoption of evidence-based practice
in the real world of clinical practice has been the absence of
clinician-friendly guides. Such guides need to be understandable,
free of technical research jargon, infused with clinical expertise,
and rich with real-life examples. Rubin and Springer have hit a
home run with this series, which has all of these characteristics
and more."

-Edward J. Mullen, Willma & Albert Musher Chair
