In rank in book is very valuable. Unfortunetaly the print is so small you have to use a magnifying glass to read it at all. The publisher should be ashamed at this attempt to save money at the expense of usefulness. I rated this book as a one star for this reason. I reckon this is enough, we must demand that book publishers publixh books that are readable.

This 261 page paperback is a must for anyone in the field of substance abuse or mental health. The book is small enough to conveniently carry nearly every day. It is not a textbook as the author notes. But, it contains 3 sections including General Principles of Substance Use Disorders, Substance Review (which covers every drug that any counselor will need to know about, including “club drugs”, nicotine, etc.), and Substance Use Treatment. There are a number of appendices which include copies of screening examinations such as the CAGE, AUDIT, MAST, CIWA-Ar, CINA. There are also lists of published resources, certification boards, and helpful websites.
Throughout this highly readable book there are very helpful clinical vignettes, as well as Key Points and Notes made by the author which enhance one’s understanding of the topic being discussed. There are charts and graphs, lists of which questions to question, etc.
As a clinician in a very busy Level One Trauma Focal top I have found this book to be invaluable. I know of none better, and if any readers do please enlighten me/us as we are everlastingly looking for helpful books such as these. Dr Gitlow has done a remarkable job of pullling together much in rank in a format that is quite user friendly, and reasonably priced as well. I give this guide my highest endorsement and will certainly continue to use it nearly daily even as awaiting a second addition when the time is aptly to release a new edition…
