Understanding and Working with Substance Misusers explores the
complex nature of addiction and the challenges involved in
responding effectively through policy and practice. It examines the
biopyschosocial elements of addiction to substances (including
alcohol) and, draws together key research findings from these
fields to present a new framework for integrating theory and
practice. The book argues that the best way to understand
addictions is as examples of "complex self organising systems",
which comprise many interacting component parts. In so doing, it
addresses the problem of service users presenting with multiple
needs (including poly drug use, mental health problems, criminal
behaviour, unemployment and relationship difficulties) and the
challenges that this poses for policy makers, services
commissioners and practitioners alike. This book fills the need for
a text which makes the complex issues surrounding substance misuse
accessible to both students and practitioners. As such, it fosters
a multidisciplinary and critically reflective approach to policy
and practice.
