Summary: "This book covers biological, psychological and social aspects of alcohol and eating disorders, gambling and other addictions. 12-Step and harm-reduction approaches are connected to show how clients are guided down paths tailored to their needs. Stress is a major theme in the development of substance use disorders and a parallel national crisis like the opioid/fentanyl death toll has shifted from a criminal justice response toward a public health approach to addiction. First-person narratives about addiction expose students to a realism not commonly found in textbooks. Updated with the DSM-5-TR of 2022 and use of person-first language, the latest insights into social determinants of health, trauma-informed care, transgender populations and other topics are included." -- Publisher
