Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely volume fills a long-standing gap in the professional literature by providing an overview of contemporary assessment and rehabilitation of alcohol and chemical dependent substance abusers. Although many occupational therapists and other activity therapy staff work in substance abuse programs, few articles in occupational therapy literature address this relevant topic. Treatment of Substance Abuse: Psychosocial Occupational Therapy Approaches provides a unique overview of contemporary assessment and rehabilitiation of alcohol and chemical dependent substance abusers. The highlights of this insightful book include behavioral and educational frames of reference as well as specific treatment modalities such as stress management, activities of daily living, and leisure counseling. Contributors examine current polemics regarding programs that use methadone versus abstinence and theoretical concepts including the psychodynamic model with emphasis on the defensive structure underlying the abuser’s personality, as well as leveled conceptual framework for considering treatment. A number of practical techniques are discussed within the overall context of each article; hence the reader will find usable guidelines for establishing boundaries of treatment as well as discreet ideas about methods and practice. Roles and functions of varying disciplines are reviewed in an effort to discriminate role clarity and provide implications for practice in relation to different models. This issue is valuable to the OT who seeks an understanding of the varying viewpoints and current practice in the substance abuse field.

Section I addresses practice settings and service delivery, with an emphasis on describing the entire continuum of health, social service, and community settings and how psychosocial occupational therapy is valuable in all settings. New to this book is the exploration of models of integrated primary care and the emergence of an occupational therapy presence in primary care, especially suited for occupational therapists because of our generalist background. Section II provides a greater emphasis on understanding the person in multiple contexts. The cultural and environmental content found in previous editions is expanded into two chapters, and there is a new chapter discussing personal and social identity. This new chapter explores the personal and social interrelatedness of stigma and dimensions of identity. Although trauma awareness and trauma-informed care are discussed throughout this book, it is in this chapter that the trauma-related issues of poverty, violence, and human displacement are discussed, as well as the role of occupational therapy in all issues presented. Section III maintains a much-heralded section of the previous editions--Mental Health Across the Lifespan--now expanded to include new chapters on the mental health of emerging adults and mid-life adults. The expansion of this part of the book is designed to allow a more thorough examination of lifespan issues. However, readers are urged to keep in mind that defining lifespan stages is a somewhat arbitrary concept based on chronology alone"--Provided by publisher.
