L'obiettivo di questo volume consiste nell'esaminare e mettere a confronto somiglianze e differenze tra i diversi approcci psicoterapeutici nel trattamento delle tossicodipendenze. Gli autori, portavoce delle diverse scuole psicoterapeutiche, espongono linee-guida dei singoli approcci e rispondono a un articolato questionario relativo a un caso clinico 'tipo'. Il lettore potrà, pertanto, confrontare il pensiero, le concettualizzazioni, gli interventi e gli interrogativi che i differenti modelli di trattamento fanno scaturire, valutando e scegliendo la modalità che meglio risponde agli obiettivi terapeutici richiesti dal paziente.
