Book, Family Interventions for Alcohol Abuse and Dependence 1/16[LS]

Considered an important link between the individual and society, the family is the nucleus for the formation of personal identity. Therefore, its inclusion in clinical management is essential for the treatment of individuals with alcohol and other drug abuse and dependence problems, with evidence of better adherence and positive treatment results. In this sense, Family Interventions for Abuse and Dependence on Alcohol and Other Drugs presents the family as the main group to be assisted, aiming to recover the potential of relationships, favoring the emotional bond between its members, building support networks, reestablishing communication and re-signify roles and values. Organized into four parts, this work addresses the main procedures and therapeutic guidelines for caring for individuals facing problems and their families, with valuable clarifications on family behavior patterns, therapeutic approaches and emotional issues such as grief, violence and religiosity. This is an excellent practical manual for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, educators, counselors and professionals in related areas who focus on the importance of intervening in this issue with and for families.
