Harm Reduction Psychotherapy: The New Paradigm for Treating Drug and Alcohol Problems

By Doris, John M.
Harm reduction is a framework for helping drug and alcohol users who cannot or will not stop completely and the majority of users reduce the harmful consequences of use. Harm reduction accepts that abstinence may be the best outcome for many but relaxes the emphasis on abstinence as the only acceptable goal and criterion of success. Instead, smaller incremental changes in the direction of reduced harmfulness of drug use are accepted. This book will show how these simple changes in emphasis and expectation have dramatic implications for improving the effectiveness of psychotherapy in many ways.
