Abstract
The first chapter provides an overview of the scope of the book and introduces its basic concepts and goals. Specifics of the research project which generated the interviews are discussed including special issues in analysis and presentation of the data. The author argues for the choice of psychodynamic theory to explain the data and derive a practice model. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with the substance abuser and offender populations is the current treatment of choice, yet some practice models are evolving to incorporate psychodynamic principles. Examples of treatment programs for substance abusers and offenders that integrate CBT and psychodynamic concepts are presented. The author’s practice model integrating relational analytic theory, interview data, and case examples with these client populations is introduced.
