Clinical Pearls: Bridging the Science to Practice Gap

Evidence-based treatments are available yet there can be unexpected issues that make it difficult to implement. Needed are first person clinician accounts describing the challenges they experienced in delivering treatment to individuals with substance abuse problems and how they addressed them. These short, peer-reviewed pieces, written by experienced clinicians that include addiction psychologists, present important clinical insights on how counselors working with addictions think, and how patients may respond, in treatment. We hope that these interesting and informative behind-the-scenes reports are helpful and welcome your input.
