"I am delighted with the book Treating Adult Substance Abuse Using Family Behavior Therapy. As a relatively new therapist, I used the FBT protocols in a practice setting and the highly structured interventions provided me a sense of confidence while developing professional competence in working with very challenging populations. Although simple in theory, families are empowered by these absolutely positive techniques." ?Amy S. Bizjak, Staff Development Training Coordinator, Bethesda Children's Home, Meadville, PA "I strongly recommend Treating Adult Substance Abuse Using Family Behavior Therapy. Donohue and Allen give readers a step-by-step approach using empirical strategies, client-therapist dialogues, checklists, and handouts that make the therapy process clear and concrete. This book is a must read for all who want use FBT in their practice." ?Robert J.

Family Behavior Therapy (FBT) is an evidence-based treatment that helps adult patients address substance abuse as well as coexisting problem behaviors, including family dysfunction, employment, and mood disorders. Donohue and Allen are the premier researchers and practitioners of FBT, and their book is the first to provide the practical, step-by-step guidance needed to use this cost-effective intervention method with clients. It contains descriptions of each component of the treatment in addition to case examples, worksheets, and handouts. Counselors, therapists, and social workers will appreciate this "how-to" behavioral approach to therapy.
