Dr. Reiter's years of wisdom as a therapist and academic is evident throughout the book and especially in the self-of-the family therapist chapter that addresses issues crucial for growth and sustenance. Highly recommended!"Joyce Baptist, PhD, LCMFT, Certified EMDR Therapist, Associate Professor, Kansas State University"Down-to-earth and comprehensive, Substance Abuse and the Family (2nd ed.) allows you to grasp the nuts and bolts of assessing and treating individuals and families dealing with substance abuse issues.
