Summary:

Emerging Perspectives on Substance Misuse addresses theoretical, practice and policy issues regarding problematic use of alcohol and illegal drugs, and presents a wide range of emerging evidence-based perspectives. Internationally recognized leading experts, from a variety of specializations in substance misuse, cover the development of drug and alcohol policies; the rise of excessive alcohol consumption; gender and substance use; working with children and families of substance misusers; new ways forward in professional practice; the emerging recovery movement, and the restrictions that misguided policies place on research and clinical advancement. The result is a book which is vital to professionals charged with devising and delivering policies and interventions to reduce alcohol- and drug-related harm, as well as academics studying addictive behaviours.
