Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions

"One of the most significant clinical paradigm shifts in the treatment of addictive disorders in the past 50 years has been the birth and growth of CBT, which has enabled clinicians worldwide to help patients more effectively. Beck and Liese have done a superb job of describing the theory, scientific foundations, and applications of CBT for addictive disorders, while simultaneously demonstrating how their approach fits into the larger continuum of care. The authors highlight the need to address stigma and discrimination and recognize the shifting legal and sociopolitical contexts of substance use and nonchemical addictions. Whether students, clinical novices, or seasoned professionals, readers will find their own thinking and behavior changed as they become empowered to provide more efficient, effective treatment."—John F. Kelly, PhD, ABPP, Elizabeth R. Spallin Professor of Psychiatry in the Field of Addiction Medicine, Harvard Medical School; Founder and Director, Recovery Research Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital

"This timely successor to the classic book on CBT for addictive disorders is replete with proven practices, case reports, and innovative supplemental interventions. This is a practical, useful guidebook for clinicians. Kudos to the authors!"—Donald Meichenbaum, PhD, Research Director, Melissa Institute for Violence Prevention and Treatment

“The addictions field has long needed an updated guide to the cognitive-behavioral approach to treating substance use disorders, because evaluating beliefs is a central feature of diagnosing and treating these problems. Who better to provide such a resource than Liese and Beck, two of the pioneers? This is a very welcome and valuable resource for clinicians working with persons who have addictive disorders.”—Mark B. Sobell, PhD, ABPP, President's Distinguished Professor, and Linda C. Sobell, PhD, ABPP, President's Distinguished Professor, College of Psychology, Nova Southeastern University
