A stauncher defence of 12 step methodology than we in the UK are used to from professionals.
It is an accessible read.

A passable outline of a treatment approach for dual diagnosis that never strays into any
uncharted or inspiring territory.
It's discussion of the 'Engagement' stage of treatment is hugely underdeveloped as compares
the 'Negotiating change' stage.

Clearly a book for professionals it is nonetheless an easily accessible read though it grates
somewhat from the start with its enunciation of the TAUT-SOAR philosophy (a laboured way of
saying that the more problematic a patient the more a therapist can learn and gain from the
challenge - the upshot being that dually-diagnosed clients are more challenging).
It is methodical in its layout and clearly sub-divided. A useful addition but as with many
professionals books a tad on the expensive side. A good portion of this book is available on
google books.

One of the cheapest books available, but it isn't worth buying new.
It has a very 'therapeutic' feel (in a strangely prejorative sense) about it and is bulked out with
case studies which are not massively illuminating. Most of the author's patient's seem certainly
to have troubles but are rarely as chaotic and demanding as the patients/clients most
professionals fear working with.
It is precisely this high-chaos, hard-to-reach and limited insight genre of client that workers
professionals need guidance on working with - but this is guidance they won't find here.
