Recommended Readings Review "The second edition develops the treatment model in great detail and provides a wide range of valuable harm reduction resources -- for example, guidelines for combining psychotherapy with medication for patients with serious comorbidity. An excellent practical reference for general mental health practitioners and addiction specialists." - Linda Carter Sobell and Mark B. Sobell, Nova Southeastern University, Florida, USA "The second edition of Practicing Harm Reduction Psychotherapy is a book whose time has come. Harm reduction is finally recognized as a basic concept that needs to inform the treatment of all clients with substance use problems, particularly those who have co-occurring disorders. Denning and Little clearly position harm reduction as a current, integrated, nondogmatic, client-centered treatment approach." - Shulamith Lala Ashenberg Straussner, New York University, USA Long Description This acclaimed clinical guide has helped thousands of clinicians put the proven principles of harm reduction into practice with therapy clients who have substance use problems.
