Practicing Harm Reduction Psychotherapy Reviews

'An essential tool for the modern practitioner who treats any patient using drugs.' -Addiction
'This is a great book that has radical reform implications for treating drug users and addicts... This is a very important book, providing new ways of looking at things in an area where there is a lot of pessimism.'-American Journal of Psychiatry'This text is written primarily for general psychotherapists wishing to add substance abuse treatment to their practice. It would also be useful in training graduate students in the integration of addictions treatment into everyday clinical practice-a useful skill to possess given the high rates of addictive disorders in the general population... Provides clinicians, educators and graduate students with a practical approach to treating addictions in the context of other mental health issues.'-Journal of Studies on Alcohol
'Harm reduction has been recognized as an evidence-based practice component, and Patt Denning's book provides social work students an alternative view of substance abuse and recovery. The book's emphasis on reducing the harm of substance abuse is a long overdue alternative to the disease approach. In addition, it is consistent with a strengths perspective as it emphasizes progress over pathology.'-Tom Broffman, Eastern Connecticut State University, USA
