Alcoholism/Chemical Dependency and the College Student

This first-rate volume details for college mental health and counseling services, college administrators, and faculty the problems of substance use and abuse among students and describes successful approaches of intervention. In an educated and nonjudgmental fashion, professionals and students who have contributed to this volume provide information on the scope of the problem and its prevention and treatment. Counselors and psychotherapists, already familiar with the helpful methods of empathy, support, and interpretation, can combine these skills with caring forms of confrontation that must be developed to help the substance abuser and all those who are affected by substance abuse.
