The Mental Health-Substance Use series provides clear guidance for
professionals on this complex and increasingly recognised field. It
concentrates on the concerns, dilemmas and concepts that impact on
the life and well-being of affected individuals and those close to
them, as well as the future direction of practice, education,
research, services, intervention, and treatment. This volume is
primarily about caring for individuals and families who turn to
professionals at a time when their lives are unmanageable alone,
but is also concerned with the care that these professions extend
to their own members. It contends that these issues are closely
interrelated, with appropriate communication and support being key
to both. Its chapters draw from a variety of theories and
treatments to provide practical advice on the challenge of
providing appropriate care tailored to a wide scope of individuals
and families. The volumes in this series are designed to challenge
concepts and stimulate debate, exploring all aspects of the
development in treatment, intervention and care response, and the

Panacea or revolution? 'Evidence-based medicine' and
'cost-effectiveness' have become buzz-phrases for a wide variety of
initiatives and planning processes which aim to give patients
treatments that will benefit them. On the surface this seems a
reasonable idea, but there are underlying currents which cast doubt
on the process and reveal methodological problems, which must be
understood if the concepts are to be properly used. Assuming no
prior knowledge of the field, and written in the clear,
straightforward manner the author uses in the highly successful
Health Economics for the Uninitiated, this book is a short
practical guide on how to use these concepts, and how to avoid
their pitfalls. It will appeal to doctors, nurses, health service
managers, patient organizations, academics and students of health
care. It will provide essential support to those working in health
care companies, and in the pharmaceutical and medical equipment
industry.

Is there a place for palliative care within mental health? This
inspirational book offers an excellent foundation for integrating
best-practice specialist palliative care into serious and enduring
mental health service delivery. The shared practice values and
vision between these two disciplines provide an optimistic starting
point from which to address the lack of palliative care service
delivery in mental health practice. Focusing on the similarity in
philosophy between palliative care and mental health practice, it
incorporates: . person-centred practice . relationship-based
connectedness . a belief in compassionate care . respect for
autonomy and choice . quality-of-life issues. The book addresses
the practice skills needed in preparation for competent
intervention and treatment. Each chapter develops a theoretical
framework which is supported by practical application. Both
professionals and students of palliative care will find the
interactive text and practical case studies especially valuable, as
will the professional working in substance use. Its userfriendly
approach will appeal to a wide range of readers in various related
disciplines. 'While it could be assumed that mental health has a
lot to offer palliative care, we both [feel] that palliative care
could offer more to mental health practice...It is a neglected
area. There is little or no literature related to palliative care
within serious mental health practice, and that which does exist
relates to care of the dying in terms of cancer.' From the Preface
The Mental Health-Substance Use series provides clear guidance for
professionals on this complex and increasingly recognised field. It
concentrates on the concerns, dilemmas and concepts that impact on
the life and well-being of affected individuals and those close to
them, as well as the future direction of practice, education,
research, services, intervention, and treatment. This final book in
the series provides the basis of best practice for offering
effective interventions to affected individuals and their families,
exploring the effects of various substances, both controlled and
proscribed, and the impact of substance use in schizophrenia.
Therapeutic interventions such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and
Reprocessing (EMDR) and dialectical behaviour therapy are
discussed, as are relapse prevention and the specific needs of
groups such as older people and young adults. Associated topics
such as individuals within the criminal justice system, and brain
injury (the symptoms of which often mimic mental health-substance
use) complete this highly comprehensive guide. The volumes in this
series are designed to challenge concepts and stimulate debate,
exploring all aspects of the development in treatment, intervention
and care response, and the adoption of research-led best practice.

The book brings together the most up-to-date knowledge and
expertise covering the whole topic of alcohol. It presents the
practical skills needed to offer ethical intervention and treatment
and implement ethical person-centered care. It is a practice-based

theoretical framework, before broadening to include application in
care and practice. This work will appeal to a wide readership, from
professionals working within the mental health care and practice
environment to mental health students.
Mental health-substance use is a complex interrelation, with
equally complex implications for individuals and their families,
health professionals and society. Although its international
recognition as an issue of critical importance is growing, clear
guidance for professionals on mental health-substance use and its
treatment is hard to find. The Mental Health-Substance Use series

concepts that impact on the life and well-being of affected
individuals and those close to them, and the future direction of

previous books, the third book in the series explores how
professionals can best respond to the particular concerns and
dilemmas arising from and in mental health-substance use for
individuals and their families. It aims to inform, develop and
educate these responses by sharing knowledge and enhancing
expertise in this fast-developing field by exploring the
interrelated psychological, physical, social, legal and spiritual
experiences. The volumes in this series are designed to challenge
concepts and stimulate debate, exploring all aspects of the
development in treatment, intervention and care responses, and the
adoption of research-led best practice. They are essential reading
for mental health and substance use professionals, students and
educators.

concentrates on the concerns, dilemmas and concepts that impact on
the life and well-being of affected individuals and those close to

is a complex and varied phenomenon, and this volume stresses an
appreciation that interventions that work for one individual or
family may prove ineffective for another. It therefore explores the
needs of individuals and carers, the nature of the therapeutic
relationship, and the theory and application of a variety of
interventional techniques; these include group therapy, cognitive
behaviour therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), brief
interventions and many more. The volumes in this series are
