Reviews What's the Big Deal About Addictions? is up-to-date and very understandable for all readers. Dr. Crist provides so many gems of information; I especially liked his use of quick tips. The quotes he provides bring the topic alive. This is a must-read for all those who provide alcohol and drug education., Dr. Crist has provided a nonjudgmental, helpful tool for teens that provides a realistic and educational overview of substance use, abuse, and addiction. As a therapist for over 40 years working with adolescents and families, I will use this as one of my tools with my clients to assist in improving their decision-making and choices. A useful tool for teens as well as adults., The book avoids preachiness and invites the reader in a warm, almost casual, conversational tone. Crist provides scientifically reliable, non-stigmatizing information and resources about a wide range of addictions-related issues. In addition to the (expected) drug and alcohol material, the book also covers addiction to porn, love, food, technologies, video gaming, and online gambling, and even addresses the reality of systemic racism in drug-related arrests. The section that orients readers to treatment approaches and recovery resources is especially useful as it also drives home the reality that trauma and mental health concerns go hand-in-hand with addictions., Dr. Crist's book about addictions is an important resource for our children, their siblings and friends, and especially their parents, teachers, and loved ones. It is authoritative, very readable, and excels in its practicality. What impresses me most is how Dr. Crist treats these problems and those who suffer with them so sensitively and respectfully, modeling to all of us how to empathize, talk to, and help each other!, Making concepts relatable by giving glimpses into the lives of teenagers impacted by substance use and/or technology, Dr. Crist also offers down-to-earth suggestions, which foster better understanding and inspire hope for a manageable way forward for dealing with any behavior that could prove problematic., In What's the Big Deal About Addictions? Dr. Crist uses a conversational approach to addressing the epidemic of addiction facing our kids. Fear-based, consequence-driven interventions are often the go-to method despite evidence that other approaches are more effective. Dr. Crist provides reliable and factual information about effective approaches, arming teenagers, their families, and healthcare providers with the information they need to foster health and wellness in the lives of young people., What's the Big Deal About Addictions? provides much-needed information on different types of addictions and substance use in a factual, non-threatening, non-lecturing, and respectful way. The book is easy to read for both adolescents dealing with addiction and family members wanting to understand and support their loved ones. I highly recommend Dr. Crist's book--it will empower readers.
