As Lorraine Gutiérrez points out in her foreword, the book \"challenges us to transform our thinking about substance abuse and move beyond our existing focus on individual deficits.\" Arguing that pathology-focused definitions of substance abuse tend to transform people into their problems, Freeman instead advocates for strengths-centered policies and regulations as the means to empower clients, communities, and society as a whole. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFreeman outlines basic empowerment principles and practices, then details the service delivery processes; offers a context for power, policy, and funding decisions; and examines the needs of special populations. Case examples supplement each chapter, and the final part examines four exemplary programs that demonstrate the empowerment process in action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edith Freeman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231102364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231102360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2001 pg. 110","brand":"Edith Freeman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46140673720575,"sku":"9780231102360","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3fb5d894-6d0b-40e4-9a9f-06a4698f6eaf.jpg?v=1726596707","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/substance-abuse-intervention-prevention-rehabilitation-edith-freeman-9780231102360","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
