Review by Booklist Review
Intervention, as Johnson uses the term, is a counseling technique employed with the chemically dependent. Those close to the addicted person family, friends, coworkers gather together and, one-by-one, confront the individual with concrete examples of how addiction is ruining his or her life. Ideally, this encounter will compel the person to acknowledge the problem and seek professional help. The author, an experienced drug counselor, provides clear, step-by-step instructions for setting up an intervention program. He believes that anyone who is determined and organized can successfully use his method. An excellent resource for those involved with someone who has an alcohol or drug problem. Index.
