SynopsisAlcohol in athletes mixes no better than alcohol in drivers. Robert Stainback's Alcohol and Sport reveals the extent of the sport and alcohol relationship and how professionals can help prevent and treat alcohol abuse in sport. This book is an essential reference for the entire support team who helps athletes perform and cope with life's problems. Sport psychologists, athletic counselors, and substance abuse counselors will gain a better understanding of the extent and causes of alcohol problems in sport, followed by guidance on how to intervene with alcohol-abusing athletes. Athletic trainers, sport physical therapists, and sport physicians often are the first to encounter and assist the alcohol-abusing athlete. These professionals will find this book essential reading in helping to prevent and reduce alcohol abuse in sport. Athletic directors and coaches will find Alcohol and Sport useful in helping them to recognize alcohol abuse and dependence, and know the options available for helping athletes to obtain treatment. Clinical and sport psychologist Robert Stainback condenses 20 years of practical experience and research in substance abuse treatment into this comprehensive, indispensable reference that - provides background information about alcohol use and addiction; - describes alcohol use patterns of athletes and others involved in sport; - examines alcohol's influence on the human body, behavior, and human performance, including sport; - discusses the incidence of alcohol-related disorders in athletes and sport professionals and considers the risk factors in these populations; - includes case examples of athletes and sport professionals experiencing alcohol-related problems; - explores how successful prevention programs might be developed in sport contexts; - reviews stages of recovery from alcohol dependence and describes how helping professionals may facilitate an athlete's progression through these stages; and - provides an overview of the treatment experience and considers how the sport experience may influence an athlete's participation in treatment.
