This handbook surveys the various models that have been used to define
alcoholism, ending with a discussion of what the authors call "an
informed eclecticism." Using this approach, clinicians develop a
spectrum of treatment approaches that have proved effective in
practice, then match specific clients with the treatment methods that
offer the greatest opportunities for success in these specific
circumstances. This new edition of this handy reference provides both
practitioners and researchers with a rich source of information on
treatment interventions demonstrated to be the most successful.
