Zweben, clinical professor of psychiatry,University of California, San Francisco; executive director, EastBay Community Recovery Project and 14th Street Clinic, Oakland,California Shulamith Lala Ashenberg Straussner, is professor at the New YorkUniversity School of Social Work and coordinator of theirpost-master's program in the treatment of alcohol and drug abusingclients. She is the author or editor of several books, includingClinical Work with Substance-Abusing Clients (1993) and Gender andAddictions: Men and Women in Treatment (1997).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Stephanie Brown is director of the Addictions Institute in MenloPark, California, and codirector of the Family Recovery Project atthe Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto, California. She is theauthor of Treating the Alcoholic (1985) and Treating Adult Childrenof Alcoholics (1988), the editor of Treating Alcoholism (1995), anda coauthor of The Alcoholic Family in Recovery (1999) and TheFamily Recovery Guide ( 2000).  Until recently, the therapeutic community has paid little attention to the special needs of women who are addicted to drugs, alcohol, or other self-destructive behaviors. Current research reveals that women exhibit addictive behavior and addictive thinking for reasons that often are very different from those of men, and they respond more favorably to clinical treatments that are tailored specifically to meet their individual needs. \u003cbr\u003e  In \u003ci\u003eThe Handbook of Addiction Treatment for Women,\u003c\/i\u003e editors Shulamith Lala Ashenberg Straussner and Stephanie Brown, and more than thirty leading researchers, clinicians, and teachers examine the complex topic of women and addiction. This comprehensive resource offers an overview of the history of women and addiction, explores the unique challenges the female addict poses, and provides specific guidelines for diagnosing and treating an individual female addict. \u003cbr\u003e  The contributors to this volume analyze the underlying psychological issues, traumas, and abuse that contribute to addictive behavior and examine the repercussions women experience when they become addicted or cross addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, food, relationships, shopping, gambling, smoking, or spending. This important handbook considers the complex factors that can influence a woman's behavior, including age, race, culture, and psychological issues, and the authors explore how individual women experience addiction differently. For example, this book addresses such questions as: How is a teenager's addiction different from that of a middle-aged woman? What issues are specific to the Asian, Latina, or Black female addicts? How does addiction affect women who are lesbian, homeless, incarcerated, or dually diagnosed? \u003cbr\u003e  Based on many years of combined experience in the field, the authors recommend a wide-array of treatment modalities and provide guidelines to help clinicians evaluate which approaches or interventions are most appropriate for the individual woman. In addition, the book examines the plight of nonaddicted women involved in relationships with addicts. This hands-on guide is an invaluable resource for clinicians working with female addicts in their struggle to recover and reclaim their lives.   Providing essential theoretical and practical guidelines for clinicians, educators, policymakers, and public health professionals, \u003ci\u003eThe Handbook of Addiction Treatment for Women\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive resource of the most current research and knowledge from recognized experts in the field of addiction and treatment.
