Yet this book, even now in its second edition, stands alone in addressing qualitative research in therapy. Leading expert, John McLeod helps readers through each stage of the research process, explaining techniques for gathering data, writing up the study and evaluating the findings. Each qualitative method is clearly described and critically assessed in terms of its own strengths and weaknesses. Examples from actual research studies are given to show how the methods work in practice. PAPERBACK ISBN: 978-1-8492-0062-2 • ©2012 • 352 PAGES Substance Abuse INTEGRATING 12 STEPS AND PSYCHOTHERAPY: Helping Clients Find Sobriety and Recovery Kevin A. Osten, Adler School of Professional Psychology • Robert Switzer, Chicago School of Professional Psychology This text presents a practical and applied approach to working with substance dependent clients. Designed to be accessible to a wide and multidisciplinary audience of helpers at all skill levels, it helps future practitioners fully understand the clinical challenges with substance dependence, adjust their thinking and technique in order to match their client's phase of recovery, and optimize client retention and treatment outcomes. Utilizing educator, training, and practice perspectives, the authors explore relevant theory and techniques in integrating 12-Steps across a broad range of clinical issues including: the assessment and treatment of resistant and ambivalent pre-recovery clients; boundary setting; undoing antisocial adaption; processing counter transference reactions; and the intersection between biological functioning and ability in early recovery. KEY FEATURES • Offers an applied approach, demonstrating techniques for classroom practice and application in the field. • Includes robust clinical cases that highlight the therapeutic techniques incorporating of 12-Step concepts to further the client's work. • Links clinical approach and techniques to each of the first three steps in the first year of recovery (rationales, theory, and technique). • Covers key knowledge areas of working with chemical addictions, which are then integrated into the various stages of the client's work. • Coordinates the therapist's clinical work with the client's 12-Step work, an approach not seen in any other text. • Presents a flexible, non-pedantic model of working with clients who do not follow the entire 12-Step approach (such as those who use selective components, combine it with other sobriety efforts, or are not spiritual).
