"Coping with Drug and Alcohol Problems" aims to deepen and extend
understanding of the experiences of family members trying to cope
with the excessive drinking or drug taking of a relative.
Comprehensive and thoroughly up to date, this book draws on the
results of the cross-cultural study of alcohol and drug problems in
the family, and places these results within the broader context of
the international literature on the subject. By investigating the
similarities and differences in the experiences of family members
in three parts of the world, the authors reveal results which have
far-reaching implications for professional intervention and
prevention. Subjects covered include:
- Models of Understanding: How Families Continue to be Pathologized
and Misunderstood
- How Family Members Cope
- An Integrated View of Alcohol and Drug Problems in the
Family
- Ways of Empowering Family Members
This book aims to demonstrate the possibility of a constructive
alliance between professionals, substance misusing relatives, and
the affected family members by thoroughly investigating the
dilemmas that face family members and the lack of support they
experience.
This fascinating insight into the impact of drugs and alcohol
problems on family members will be a valuable resource for all
those who are interested in substance misuse in family and cultural
contexts, and particularly those who are interested in the
treatment of alcohol and other drug problems.
'Coping with Drug and Alcohol Problems' aims to deepen & extend
understanding of the experiences of family members trying to cope
