Chemical Dependency and the African American
Description:
First published in 1990, Chemical Dependency and the African American is revised and expanded to reflect updated statistics and the latest information in the treatment field. An expert on the topic of how cultural differences affect addiction treatment, Peter Bell, makes the decisive case that there is room in the disease theory of addiction to accommodate racial issues--not as causal factors, but as contributive.
Intrinsic to the holistic approach to addiction treatment, which addresses the individual's physical, mental, emotional, and physical health, are issues of race, culture, and class, says Bell. Unfortunately, these issues are largely ignored in the counselor-client setting. This leading text provides counselors with the framework for critical dialogue.
Features
- a thorough discussion of the African American perspective toward addiction treatment
- explores the dynamics of race, culture, and class in treatment and recovery
- addresses specific racial identity/recovery issues
- a leading, valuable resource for counselors and therapists
