"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
"Clinicians who work with patients with PTSD and a co-occurring
alcohol or drug-use disorder will benefit substantially from this
book. This would also be an excellent teaching tool for
graduate-level courses such as advanced treatment techniques and
psychotherapy. The Treatments That Work series provides timely and
useful additions to the field. The incidence and prevalence of PTSD
and concurrent substance use disorder is more than enough reason
for
this book and it will be invaluable in treatment." --Nicholas Greco
