At the beginning of history, people abused intoxicating substances
and grappled with the consequences as best they could. In more
recent times, the healing professions made recognizing,
understanding, and treating addictions major priorities. Today,
social workers are the largest group providing assessment,
prevention, and treatment services for persons with addictions,
necessitating rigorous, up-to-date information sources concerning
the vulnerable and often stigmatized clients they encounter in
daily practice. Reflecting a strong basis in social justice and
ethics, Social Work Practice in the Addictions assembles the
current evidence base in one readable, comprehensive volume. It
begins by tracing the history of approaches to addiction and its
treatment, from early morality-based concepts to today's
multilayered models. From there, contributors present the latest
findings on epidemiology and etiology, assessment and treatment
options, working meaningfully with diverse populations, and
possibilities for future research. Coverage is interdisciplinary,
with experts representing psychology, psychiatry, public health,
and other related fields as chapters: * Review frequently used
assessment tools. * Decode the language of diagnosis. * Detail
effective treatment strategies, including motivational
interventions, recovery/12-step facilitation, and cognitive-
behavioral therapy. * Offer a framework for integrating diversity
and social justice into addictions practice. * Critique current
alcohol and drug control policies. * Model non-judgmental social
work practice. Social Work Practice in the Addictions is a
trustworthy guide for social work professionals, educators, and
counselors looking to hone critical competencies, keep abreast of
the field, and maintain an open mind.
