Provides clinicians and students with insights on the use of psychodynamic therapy to treat drug abuse and addiction, combining theory with clinical case material. Covers the perspectives of range of analysts and examines common issues such as projective identification, countertransference difficulties, and relapses.
"David Potik's Psychodynamic Approaches for Treatment of Drug Abuse and Addiction is an excellent introduction to the psychoanalytic literature on addiction theory and treatment. His specific application of object relation's theory to a broad range of treatment settings is an invaluable contribution that many will find enlightening as well as useful."
