Psychotherapy of Addictive Persons

Drawing on over 30 years of experience working with substance abusers, Edward Kaufman has developed a pragmatic approach to treatment that systematically integrates techniques from a variety of influences - from object relations and cognitive behavioral therapy to structural family therapy and the Twelve-Step movement. The result is a workable method of psychodynamic psychotherapy that effectively takes into account the variety of problems encountered with substance abuse.Valuable to a wide audience, this book will help addiction therapists and psychoanalysts to effectively use psychodynamic constructs and incorporate the tools of such programs as Alcoholics Anonymous. This book will be of interest to psychotherapists, psychologists, family therapists, social workers, and other mental health professions working with addictions.Kaufman, Edward is the author of 'Psychotherapy of Addictive Persons' with ISBN 9780898621167 and ISBN 089862116X.
