Counselor, the Magazine for Addiction Professionals
is a national, peer-reviewed publication that blends the in-depth
information often found in journals with the ease-of-read and style of
a magazine.
The magazine has a circulation of
21,000+ addiction treatment professionals – including psychologists,
psychiatrists, counselors, criminal justice personnel, nurses, clinical
supervisors, social workers, and mental health counselors.
In 2006, Counselor provided an in-depth
look at the five best practices for Addictive Disorder Assessment.
Further, two special issues were released in 2006—one dedicated to
adolescent addictions and treatment in April 2006, and another centered
around women and addiction treatment in June 2006. Other featured
articles for 2006 include topics such as: suicide prevention;
understanding and working with self-injuring clients; models that work
in Prison Communities; using neuroscience to help clients make human
and spiritual connections; treating disabled clients for substance
abuse; Wellbriety—implementing a vision for healing; and much more. Features slated for 2007 include topics about chronic addiction and recovery management; how to keep clients in treatment; counseling chemically dependent, hard-to-reach males; ADHD and addiction; sex offenders in addiction treatment; "love" addiction; implications of online counseling; gay/lesbian/transgender addiction treatment; and much more. In each issue of Counselor, addiction treatment professionals also are provided with assessment tools and expert advice through award-winning writers and researchers, all of whom are top experts in the addiction treatment field.
