Practicing Harm Reduction Psychotherapy presents an alternative to the dominant “abstinence only” approach to addictions. The author’s eclectic model of treatment draws on MI, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and cognitive-behavior therapy among others. This book is primarily geared toward therapists in general practice and assumes relatively little background in substance abuse treatment, but it can also serve as an introduction to a more “psychotherapeutic” approach for counselors with backgrounds in more traditional substance abuse treatment.
