In this much-needed text, leading international experts explore
crucial aspects of people's experience of long-term recovery from
substance use. Centred around the voices of people who use
substances, the book examines the complex and continuing needs of
people who have sought to change their use of substances,
investigating the ways in which personal characteristics and social
and systemic factors intersect to influence the lives of people in
long-term recovery. With perspectives from Sweden, Norway, Germany,
Belgium, Iceland and the United Kingdom, it also considers the role
and needs of family members, and puts forward clear recommendations
for improving future research, policy and practice.

Images are inscribed in the memory more easily than words, and some
remain with the viewer for a lifetime. Combining hindsight, insight
and foresight, the chapters in this book turn a spotlight onto
various aspects of health, social work and socially engaged arts
practice. The visual imagination is evoked in this book to help
practitioners see beneath the surface of contentious and
problematic issues facing human services today. Risk assessment,
child sexual abuse, work-life balance, old age, dementia, substance
misuse, recovery, sex work, homelessness, isolation, biography,
death and dying, grief, loss, vulnerability, care, and the function
of the museum as a preserver of memory, all come under the
sustained gaze and examination of the contributors. Grounded in the
arts and humanities, the visual sense as a gateway to empathy is
explored throughout these chapters. References are included to
visual art, curating dramatic performance, poetry, film, dance,
photography, diary entries, and public exhibitions. In an age when
people increasingly compose their lives by staring into various
screens, this book celebrates the visual modality that can humanise
services with 'human-seeings'. This book was originally published
as a special issue of the Journal of Social Work Practice.
