The New Addiction Treatment is a fascinating excursion into the field. Part personal ethnography, part scholarly overview, David Patterson Silver Wolf's book is an engaging melding of the author's personal lived experience with addiction, recovery, and subsequent career as an eminently successful behavioral scientist who is abreast of the latest developments in helping people recover from abusing addictive substances.... The underlying message is one of hope - genuinely effective therapies are available to help persons seeking sobriety. Moreover there are useful techniques that can be ethically used to motivate such persons to seek treatment in the first place. And to remain engaged in treatment during the long period of time needed to promote enduring recovery. * Bruce Thyer, Distinguished Research Professor, Florida State University * The New Addiction Treatment is a reminder of how far we have come in understanding that all substance disorders are diseases of the brain, but neuroscientific insights only go so far and have meant very little to treatment success rates.... Substance use disorders are diseases of the brain, body, and soul. David A. Patterson Silver Wolf reminds us to keep it simple, find a treatment that is evidence-based and good at keeping patients in treatment until they are truly ready to continue on their own.... Professor Patterson looks carefully at where treatment procedures have come from and where they should be going to really help intervene, treat, and return to pre-drug use function. * Mark S. Gold, M.D. * Dr. Patterson Silver Wolf has produced a provocative, well-written and highly accessible book that both calls into question the way we currently treat addiction in this country, and through colorful and compelling storytelling, provides us a better way forward. * Howard Weissman, Former Executive Director (retired 2018), National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse-St. Louis Area *
