Abstract: Motivational interviewing only gets a couple of passing references.The chapter on methadone gives interesting insight into the US healthcare system but, like other contributions, is more a polemic than a review.Only the dialectic behaviour therapy chapter deals in any depth with aspects of co-occurring addiction and psychiatric disorder.For many practitioners in substance misuse and addiction psychiatry, the interface with local cultural influences is part of the fascination of the discipline.Successful international publications in addiction utilise international differences to enhance learning.This book, however, is too parochial and I could not recommend it.
