Book Reviews of Criminal Conduct and Substance Abuse Treatment for Adolescents: Pathways to Self-Discovery and Change: The Provider's Guide

Book Review: Working with Adolescents
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm a substance abuse counselor who recently took on a Juvenile Drug Court treatment group. I've used Milkman's Strategies book in the past with adults and was thrilled to find this book for use with adolescents. After just a few weeks of using this manual, the group members are already exhibiting considerable improvement in both knowledge and understanding of substance abuse and criminal conduct. These books are a perfect guide for working with substance abusing criminal offenders.

Summary of Criminal Conduct and Substance Abuse Treatment for Adolescents: Pathways to Self-Discovery and Change: The Provider's Guide

Adolescents are a particularly vulnerable patient population in the justice system. Mental health providers can get specific tools for improving evaluation and treatment of at-risk youth with this comprehensive and developmentally appropriate treatment program.

Using an adolescent-focused format, this protocol identifies psychological, biological, and social factors that contribute to the onset of adolescent deviance.

About the Provider?s Guide

  • Describes causal models for problem behaviors
  • Reviews assessment and treatment protocols widely used in contemporary practice
  • Provides guidelines for delivery of the 32- session treatment curriculum
  • Explains how effective adolescent treatment derives from integration of the following evidence-based strategies:
  1. motivational enhancement 
  2. stages of change
  3. gender and diversity proficiency 
  4. cognitive-behavioral skill development 
  5. relapse and recidivism prevention 
  6. differential assessment 
  7. individualized treatment planning
"Milkman and Wanberg's program rests upon the best that science has to offer.  Once this workbook stimulates change, it pays attention to the principles of relapse prevention that will help young people stay changed - and this is the litmus test for any treatment program that targets behavioral problems."  -- Dr. Howard J. Shaffer, Ph.D., C.A.S. , Director & Associate Professor, Division on Addictions, Harvard Medical School  Psychology of Addictive Behaviors 

"Pathways to Self-Discovery and Change is the most comprehensive and thoughtful program we have seen to help at-risk youth gain freedom from crime and drugs and develop attitudes and skills to lead productive prosocial lives."  -- G. Alan Marlatt, Ph.D. and George A. Parks, Ph.D. , Addictive Behaviors Research Center, University of Washington

"This exceptional and widely needed program shows great promise as a developmentally appropriate treatment model for adolescents who manifest co-occurring disturbances with substance abuse and criminal activity.  It is uniquely designed to interest and engage high-risk teenagers in a thoughtful array of cognitive-behavioral restructuring exercises that are geared to promote fulfilling and responsible life choices."  -- Lloyd I. Sederer, MD, Formerly Director of Clinical Services, American Psychiatric Association, and Medical Director , McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School
