Seminars in Alcohol and Drug Misuse
Edited by Jonathan Chick & Roch Cantwell
Part of the College Seminars
Series.
Psychiatric complications of alcohol and drug misuse must be
recognised and treated confidently. This book provides information
to meet the needs of practising psychiatrists and will be useful to
physicians, psychologists and social workers. A clear review of the
aetiology, epidemiology, treatment and prevention of dependence on
and misuse of alcohol and illicit and prescribed drugs is
presented. With a balance of theory, recent research and practical
clinical guidelines, the book covers specific and common problems
in mental health as well as in general medicine.
