Working with the Problem Drinker - by Insoo Kim Berg (Paperback)

This book offers a revolutionary approach to treating alcoholism by focusing on solutions rather than pathology.

The authors, Insoo Kim Berg and Scott D.

Miller, have developed a brief and cost-effective solution-focused therapy program that has been shown to be highly effective in treating problem drinkers.

Unlike traditional long-term treatment programs, this approach concentrates on what works and adapts to the individual client's needs.

The book provides numerous case examples of how the model can be applied to clients at different points on the substance abuse continuum and offers hope to those who have given up on themselves.

With a refreshing blend of respect for clients and optimism about their ability to stop abusive drinking, this model offers a paradigmatic change in the approach to substance abuse treatment.
