Reviews

"Co-morbidity of PTSD and substance use disorders is as challenging as it is common in clinical practice. COPE offers the first integrated approach to treatment of these patients that has a solid foundation in evidence-based techniques and applies insights from basic neuroscience. Our experience with COPE for PTSD patients with alcohol addiction has been truly amazing." -- Markus Heilig, MD PhD, Chief, Lab of Clinical and Translational Studies, NIAAA "COPE is a much-needed integrated treatment for substance use and posttraumatic stress disorders. This excellent therapist manual, and its accompanying patient workbook, will provide important guidance for clinicians in delivering COPE, thereby expanding the possibility of providing high-quality integrated care for individuals suffering from both of these illnesses." -- Shelly F. Greenfield, MD, MPH, Chief Academic Officer, Chief, Division of Women's Mental Health, and Director of Clinical and Health Services Research and Education, Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse, McLean Hospital, and Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School "COPE is a long awaited and much needed treatment manual, developed by an outstanding group of clinicians and researchers. COPE will allow exposure therapy, a highly effective treatment for PTSD, to be more readily available to patients who also have a substance use disorder. I recommend this book to anyone who treats patients who have both PTSD and a substance use disorder." --Sonya B. Norman, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego "This pair of books brings science-based treatment techniques and skills to a population of clients and therapists in urgent need. Based on years of careful and systematic development, these books provide critical training in how to deliver prolonged exposure therapy techniques in those with substance addictions. They are a groundbreaking addition to any trauma and addiction therapist's treatment collection." --Denise Hien, PhD, ABPP, Professor of Clinical Psychology, City College, Graduate Center of the City University of New York "Clients will appreciate the user-friendly forms and worksheets to supplement their treatment with a qualified mental health professional. The workbook is also designed for clients who are motivated to work on their own.This workbook will benefit patients with concurrent PTSD and substance-use disorders when working with a trained clinician. The ultimate goal is to provide strategies and tools to enhance clients' quality of life by a reduction in both PTSD and substance-use disorders." --Nicholas Greco, Doody's Health Science Book Review Featured in PsycCRITIQUES
