Social sciences Psychotherapy Social policy Social work Applied psychology XII, 270 p. 13 illus. digital. Summary: At the beginning of history, people abused intoxicating substances and grappled with the consequences as best they could. In more recent times, the healing professions made recognizing, understanding, and treating addictions major priorities. Today, social workers are the largest group providing assessment, prevention, and treatment services for persons with addictions, necessitating rigorous, up-to-date information sources concerning the vulnerable and often stigmatized clients they encounter in daily practice. Reflecting a strong basis in social justice and ethics, Social Work Practice in the Addictions assembles the current evidence base in one readable, comprehensive volume. It begins by tracing the history of approaches to addiction and its treatment, from early morality-based concepts to today’s multilayered models. From there, contributors present the latest findings on epidemiology and etiology, assessment and treatment options, working meaningfully with diverse populations, and possibilities for future research. Coverage is interdisciplinary, with experts representing psychology, psychiatry, public health, and other related fields as chapters: Review frequently used assessment tools. Decode the language of diagnosis. Detail effective treatment strategies, including motivational interventions, recovery/12-step facilitation, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Offer a framework for integrating diversity and social justice into addictions practice. Critique current alcohol and drug control policies. Model non-judgmental social work practice. Social Work Practice in the Addictions is a trustworthy guide for social work professionals, educators, and counselors looking to hone critical competencies, keep abreast of the field, and maintain an open mind. 2017-05-24T10:44:54Z 2017-05-24T10:44:54Z 2013 Book 9781461453574 http://repository.vnu.edu.vn/handle/VNU_123/53762 en application/pdf New York, NY : Springer New York : Imprint: Springer, 2013. |
