Addiction training and multiple treatments for all clinical psychologists: Reply to Freimuth (2018).

Michael A SayetteJohn C NorcrossJohn D Dimoff
Published in: The American psychologist (2019)
The authors agree with Freimuth (2018) that addiction training among clinical psychologists would be enhanced by offering addiction-related training to all clinical students, including those who do not aim to specialize in substance abuse. It is argued that Freimuth's points in fact support Dimoff, Sayette, and Norcross's (2017) recommendation that clinical programs bolster their addiction training but, contrary to Freimuth, in all evidence-based (abstinence and nonabstinence) treatments predicated on patient needs, not on practitioner preferences.
