title: The status of psychologists' training about and treatment of substance-abusing clients.
abstract: A random survey of 1,200 psychologists (with a 62% response rate) indicated that most psychologists (91%) are to some degree involved in clinical practice with substance abusers, although most have no formal education (74%) or training (54%) in substance abuse. Relevant recommendations are made.
