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.
