Addiction : The High That Brings You Down (Teen Issues)
Miriam Smith McLaughlin, Sandy Peyser Hazouri
Alcohol misuse is a medical problem before patients become seriously ill because of the consequences. It affects patients' health in many different ways and can cause devastating social problems. Doctors are well placed to detect drinking problems and to advise patients on how to overcome them. The "ABC of Alcohol" has been of help to doctors and other health and social workers. It looks not only at the nature of alcohol misuse but also at the wider socioecnomic and political issues. This third edition has been extensively revised and updated, giving more practical guidance on how to define and detect alcohol misuse, help patients through treatment, counselling and referral to self-help organizations.

Alcohol and the Young
British Paediatric Association
The diploma in social work requires its students to develop a greater awareness of alcohol-related problems. The first few chapters of this book examine the implications of recent community care legislation for government policy on alcohol; the prevalence of drinking problems amongst older people, which has been under-estimated; and recent research is reviewed on young people''''s drinking problems. In the second half of the book, empirical evidence is presented on the particular difficulties faced by ethnic, migrant and homeless groups and this emphasis on the centrality of social disadvantage leads on to a consideration of a specific social work role in the assessment and management of alcohol-related problems. The book is aimed at social work practitioners and students on prequalifying, qualifying and postqualifying social work courses, and it addresses key social work issues in relation to poverty, homelessness, discrimination and drinking problems.

Alcoholics Anonymous
-
"Alcohol Problems" provides a practical working handbook for all those who counsel people with drinking problems. It outlines the theoretical origins of harmful drinking; describes the nature and type of difficulty that the drinker's personality presents; and offers practical advice to help the drinker come to terms with the issue. This theoretical discussion provides a base from which practical counselling skills are introduced and, through case studies, advises on practical management to help the drinker, their family and the helpers involved. Whilst recognizing the need at times for specialist input, it acknowledges the important role that those with day to day contact with drinking problems have, and goes some way to empowering them to deal with this challenge more effectively.
