โฆ Synopsis
This is a single reference source for state-of-the-art, empirically-tested approaches to assessing, preventing, and treating adolescent substance abuse problems. Previous texts on adolescent substance abuse have given limited attention to intervention, have been non-empirical in orientation, or have been devoted to a single intervention approach. This book includes 16 chapters from leaders in the field, with a scope that includes assessment, primary prevention, secondary prevention, and treatment.
