"This clear and realistic text employs social work's 'person-in-situation' perspective to identify targets of intervention at the level of individuals, families, and even the broader social policy context. It includes new material on recent or more commonly used substances such as designer drugs and methamphetamine. It also provides an update on the latest research evidence on the aetiology and psychosocial treatment of addictions. This is an invaluable and versatile text that is wholly attuned to social work needs."--BOOK JACKET.
