Summary: Review of Cognative therapy of substance abuse by Aaron T. B
Comment: This book is listed as a clinician's handbook to the Cognitive Therapy of substance abuse, however it's contents are readily available to the layman. It is both clear and well referenced and I have found it to be insightful inasmuch as not being overly obscure in relation to the methods of therapy that fall outside of the Cognitive model. It is presented to define first what cognitive therapy is and how to proceed within it's guidelines and secondly to define the many concurrent psychological states that accompany the problems of the substance abuser. Whereas I am not a professional in this field I must admit that occasionally the text goes beyond my technical ability to comprehend it, however most of what is offered is assessable and understandable without being a trained professional. Would I suggest reading this book if you are not a professional? Only if you already have an interest or need surrounding the subject matter. I do not think that this particular read is for casual or recreational reader, however if you find yourself needing to know more about the cognitive therapy of substance abusers, then this book is a must. Would I suggest reading this book if you are a professional? Yes, it would seem to me that this book would be required reading in reference to dealing with the growing problems centered around drug abuse -- with particular emphasis on cocaine and crack cocaine and the difficulties in treating these particular addictions.
