Synopsis :

An overview of the consequences of substance misuse, the interventions and services available, and the way forward for improving treatment and services.

Présentation de l'éditeur: Comprehensive yet utterly practical, this invaluable handbook provides psychiatrists, psychologists and other health professionals with a thorough review of theoretical and practical approaches to managing licit and illicit related disorders in young people up to the age of twenty five years old.

It provides a critical and systematic understanding of the theoretical and scientific basis of the assessment and management of substance misuse problems in adolescents. Also it supports the reader in developing qualities and transferable specialist skills necessary for employment, education or research related to substance misuse problems in adolescence. Case vignettes are used to illustrate daily challenges, and practical advice provided on clinical decision making, in order to manage difficult cases and problems. It reviews current policies, prevention and treatment services at an international level with a wealth of online links to current key information.

Prepared by a high profile team of key opinion leaders and leading professionals, it contains ground breaking contributions from global expets. It helps medical practitioners, psychologists, social workers, police, probation officers, educationalists and other related social and health care professionals to intervene effectively in this complex and vulnerable group of young people.
