The case material deals with clinical phenomena that characterize working with this complex population, such as intense projective identification, countertransference difficulties and relapses. The theoretical analysis covers a range of concepts, such as John Steiner''s psychic shelters and Betty Joseph''s near-death-addiction, which are yet to be fully explored in the context of addiction. Prevalent topics in the addiction field, such as the reward system, the cycle of change and the 12-step program, are also discussed in relation to psychodynamic theory and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by an experienced therapist, \u003ci\u003ePsychodynamic Approaches for Treatment of Drug Abuse and Addiction \u003c\/i\u003eis useful reading for anyone looking to understand how psychodynamic thought is applicable in the treatment of drug abuse and addiction.
