The definitive guide to identify, assess, and create
individualized treatment plans for high-risk clients who suffer
from challenging co-occurring disorders
‘Treat the person and not the diagnosis. Respect that all
behaviors are purposeful. Remain mindful that nobody changes
behaviors without motivation. These essential guiding principles
are the framework of this book. They will be repeated quite often
as we examine the challenging population of men and women with
co-occurring disorders.’
–From Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring
Disorders
Annual studies reveal that 70 percent of men and women who died
by suicide were diagnosed with a mental illness or personality
disorder and used drugs to gain temporary relief from the symptoms.
Until now, very little has been written about how to identify,
assess, and treat this population. Integrated Treatment for
Co-Occurring Disorders: Treating People, Not Behaviors
addresses that need.
Respectful of the client and filled with practical advice, this
book:
* Examines the guiding principles for treating clients with
co-occurring disorders
* Details the methods of formulating an evidence-based
individualized treatment plan for the self-medicating mentally
ill
* Explores how to assess this population for suicide risk and
vulnerability
* Focuses on the person and not a behaviorally defined diagnostic
category
* Reflects state-of-the-art knowledge for the treatment of
co-occurring disorders
* Illustrates how Motivational Enhancement Therapy can be an
effective treatment strategy
With numerous clinical case studies to illustrate key points and
reinforce learning, Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring
Disorders encourages a flexible, person-centered treatment
approach that focuses on the individual rather than the
diagnosis.
