Abstract: |
This book looks at social work in the context of problematic substance use across a range of social work practice settings. Written from both an anti-discriminatory and evidence-based perspective, it highlights successful responses to the issues. Each chapter includes reflective exercises and examples of further reading, challenging students to critically reflect on their practice. The first part of the book looks at historical and contemporary contexts, covering: social history of problematic substance use; anti-discriminatory/anti-oppressive practice and partnership working; and substances and their effects. The second sections focuses on diverse populations: problematic substance use across the lifespan; gender and problematic substance use; working with criminal justice service users; problematic substance use in black and minority ethnic communities; and problematic substance use in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered communities. The third part of the book looks at concepts and models for social work practice: screening assessments; harm reduction; abstinence and 'recovery'; motivational approaches; relapse prevention; and brief interventions. In the final section the authors discuss social work practice settings: dual diagnosis - working with co-existing problems in mental health practice settings; parental problematic substance use and working with families; and problematic substance use in health care settings involving pain, HIV and HCV. |
