Practicing Harm Reduction Psychotherapy, Second Edition: An Alternative Approach to Addictions

Autor Patt Denning, Jeannie Little
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mai 2024

Observăm în Practicing Harm Reduction Psychotherapy, Second Edition o abordare clinică riguroasă care pornește de la scenarii complexe: pacienți care se confruntă cu dependențe active, dar care nu sunt pregătiți sau dispuși să adere la modelele tradiționale de abstinență totală. Autorii Patt Denning și Jeannie Little propun un model de intervenție pragmatic, în care reducerea efectelor nocive devine obiectivul terapeutic central, fără a neglija comorbiditățile psihologice. Găsim în acest volum o structură logică, împărțită în trei secțiuni fundamentale: stabilirea cadrului teoretic, integrarea tratamentului prin prisma biologiei și psihodinamicii, și aplicațiile practice în comunitate sau grupuri.

Subliniem că această ediție a doua reprezintă o evoluție semnificativă față de prima versiune, integrând peste un deceniu de cercetări și extinzând discuția către sensibilitatea culturală și traumă. Față de lucrarea lor adresată publicului larg, Over the Influence, Second Edition, acest titlu este un manual tehnic destinat profesioniștilor, oferind protocoale pentru evaluarea comprehensivă și luarea deciziilor clinice în colaborare cu clientul.

Ca alternativă la Clinical Work with Substance-Abusing Clients, Third Edition de Shulamith Lala Ashenberg Straussner, acest volum se concentrează mai puțin pe substanțe specifice și mai mult pe matricea psihodinamică a tratamentului, oferind un avantaj clar pentru terapeuții care caută o integrare profundă a teoriilor personalității în managementul dependenței. De asemenea, spre deosebire de Harm Reduction, Second Edition de G. Alan Marlatt, care analizează politici de sănătate publică, lucrarea de față se ancorează strict în cabinetul de psihoterapie, oferind un ghid pas cu pas pentru practica clinică individuală.

Recenzii

"This pioneering book presents an integrated, realistic psychotherapeutic approach for individuals with substance use problems. 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 C. Sobell, PhD, ABPP, President's Distinguished Professor, and Mark B. Sobell, PhD, ABPP, President's Distinguished Professor, College of Psychology, Nova Southeastern University

"The substance abuse treatment community in the United States ignored this evidence-based approach for way too long. This important book shows how practitioners can treat clients at the precise point where they are capable of making changes. It features examples, case studies, and valuable information on applying harm reduction principles in group work, supervision, and other contexts, in addition to individual psychotherapy. This is a 'must read' for anyone in the field of addictive disorders."--Robert J. Meyers, PhD, Emeritus Research Associate Professor of Psychology, University of New Mexico; Director, Robert J. Meyers, PhD, and Associates

"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, PhD, LCSW, Silver School of Social Work, New York University

"Denning and Little have earned an international reputation for their research and clinical practice. Highlighting the principle of 'doing patients no harm,' the authors explain the theoretical background of harm reduction psychotherapy and describe how to conduct it. The book is packed with vivid, intriguing examples. I recommend it to a broad readership of mental health professionals and students."--Hendrik G. Roozen, PhD, Novadic-Kentron Treatment Services and Erasmus University Medical Center, The Netherlands-
