The definitive guide to identify, assess, and createindividualized treatment plans for high-risk clients who sufferfrom challenging co-occurring disorders
"Treat the person and not the diagnosis. Respect that allbehaviors are purposeful. Remain mindful that nobody changesbehaviors without motivation. These essential guiding principlesare the framework of this book. They will be repeated quite oftenas we examine the challenging population of men and women withco-occurring disorders."
--From Integrated Treatment for Co-OccurringDisorders
Annual studies reveal that 70 percent of men and women who diedby suicide were diagnosed with a mental illness or personalitydisorder and used drugs to gain temporary relief from the symptoms.Until now, very little has been written about how to identify,assess, and treat this population. Integrated Treatment forCo-Occurring Disorders: Treating People, Not Behaviorsaddresses that need.
Respectful of the client and filled with practical advice, thisbook:
* Examines the guiding principles for treating clients withco-occurring disorders
* Details the methods of formulating an evidence-basedindividualized treatment plan for the self-medicating mentallyill
* Explores how to assess this population for suicide risk andvulnerability
* Focuses on the person and not a behaviorally defined diagnosticcategory
* Reflects state-of-the-art knowledge for the treatment ofco-occurring disorders
* Illustrates how Motivational Enhancement Therapy can be aneffective treatment strategy
With numerous clinical case studies to illustrate key points andreinforce learning, Integrated Treatment for Co-OccurringDisorders encourages a flexible, person-centered treatmentapproach that focuses on the individual rather than thediagnosis.
