Co-existing mental health and drug and alcohol problems occur
frequently in primary care and clinical settings. Despite this,
health professionals rarely receive training in how to detect,
assess and formulate interventions for co-existing problems and few
clinical guidelines exist.
This Handbook provides an exciting and highly useful addition to
this area. Leading clinicians from the UK, the US and Australia
provide practical descriptions of assessments and interventions for
co-existing problems. These will enable professionals working with
co-existing problems to understand best practice and ensure that
people with co-existing problems receive optimal treatment. A range
of overarching approaches are covered, including:
- working within a cognitive behavioural framework;
- provision of consultation-liaison services, training and
supervision;
- individual, group and family interventions; and
- working with rurally isolated populations.
The contributors also provide detailed descriptions of
assessments and treatments for a range of disorders when
accompanied by drug and alcohol problems, including anxiety,
depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and learning
difficulties.
The Clinical Handbook of Co-existing Mental Health and Drug and
Alcohol Problems will enhance clinicians' confidence in working
with people with co-existing problems. It will prove a valuable
resource for all psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, social
workers and all those working in both primary and secondary care
health settings.
