Counselling for Alcohol Problems by Richard Velleman
'...there is much in this book which will prove useful for both the social worker and the social work student who wishes to acquire practice advice and information that draws upon the most relevant and recent research - especially in relation to work with the individual problem drinker and families' - British Journal of Social Work
'Clear and well written, there is much that is good and informative in this book' - Addiction Today 'This excellent book is one of a series covering the application of counselling skills, methods and knowledge to a variety of problem areasIt is certainly not a generalist book or a medical book on alcohol issues. It is a book for skilled cognitive behavioural counselling practitioners on working with problem drinkers... This second edition of the book first published in 1992 includes new material and some new topic areas but retains the main themes. Overall, this is a good specialist book for counsellors already well trained and experienced in cognitive behavioural methods, who want to apply their skills to work with problem drinkers' - Alcoholism '...there is much in this book which will prove useful for both the social worker and the social work student who wishes to acquire practice advice and information that draws upon the most relevant and recent research - especially in relation to work with the individual problem drinker and families' - British Journal of Social Work 'This is a most welcome and timely Second Edition of this popular and helpful book. Areas that have been updated include the latest thinking on drinking guidelines, on medical interventions (including further information in therapeutic drugs and on the treatment of withdrawal symptoms), on evidence-based practice, especially that resulting from the Project MATCH study in the USA, and how some forms of coping by family members with drinking relatives may be most effective. Overall, anyone wanting and understanding of the world of alcohol problems and the application of counselling in this area (particularly motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioural approaches) will find this book valuable' - Healthcare Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal
