Reviews

`Lively and stimulating throughout ... will be of enormous assistance to those struggling to offer better defined therapeutic help to clients alongside harm minimisation.' - The International Journal of Drug Policy `A substantial contribution to the literature ... it should be of considerable assistance to all social workers who seek to extend their knowledge and skills in working with problem drug-takers.' - Social Work Today `Recommended for its thoughtful advocacy of psychological interventions in community settings.' - British Journal of Addiction 'soundly referenced, up to date, reasonably priced and will fill a gap in the market. I, therefore, confidently recommend its purchase for health studies libraries or workers in the field.' - Nursing Standard
