Anotace
In the UK it is estimated that a third of patients in mental health
services have a substance use problem, and that half of patients in
drug and alcohol services have a mental health problem. Part of
Palgrave's Foundations of Mental Health series, this book explores
the intertwined issues of substance use and mental health as a
social phenomenon and offers a critical, informative guide to
understanding dual diagnosis. Written by authors with extensive
experience within mental health and drug treatment services,
Working with Dual Diagnosis explores areas that are key to
understanding the relationship between the two, including: * models
for understanding substance use, mental health and the correlation
of complex social and psychological factors; * treatment processes
for working with individuals, groups and families and within a
community setting; * the historical social, political, economic and
legislative context of mental health and substance use; * practice
implications for dual diagnosis, including how practitioners can
work with and promote better treatment, after care and support for
those experiencing dual diagnosis issues. Enriched with reflective
exercises, case studies and key points, this book will inform all
work related to dual diagnosis populations within health, social
and criminal justice service, and is an essential text for social
work, nursing, occupational therapy and probation students.
