"Addiction in the Family is a comprehensive overview of systemic theoretical underpinnings and clinical application of addictions counseling in a variety of treatment settings. Instructors and counselors alike will appreciate the diverse range of clients depicted in case studies throughout the text. Practical implications for counselors are provided, including explanations of how the material relates to recent neuroscientific findings. Beginning and experienced clinicians will also find it helpful that much of the information is easily adaptable for use in psychoeducation with clients."
