The Quick-Reference Guide to Addictions and Recovery Counseling: 40 Topics, Spiritual Insights, and Easy-to-Use Action Steps

This is a requisite book for persons who work in the field of addiction, particularly those who subscribe to the principals of Christianity.Counselors, social workers, clergy, and medical professionals will find this resource a fantastic asset to their professional occupations. Beyond that, anyone who finds themselves frequently engaging with people who have addiction problems would be glad they kept a copy of this guide handy.Clinton and Scalise do a remarkable job of pulling together the spiritual basis necessary for a healing transformation of mind and body with the scholarly and scientific underpinnings that make it all work.Divided in over 40 segments based on addiction type, the reader can easily find any addiction "in front of them" to get an overview, statistics, prevalence markers, treatment options, and even biblical references and prayer suggestions. And while the Christian perspective is well represented, the book is packed with the scientific information one would expect with a scholarly presentation. Highly recommended.

As a counselor who sometimes needs that extra quick reference to help a client, this book it perfect!
