: A Primer of Recovery Terms and Concepts from Abstinence

| Jan

| Few
families are untouched by addiction in some form.
Few families know how to recognise it. Few people
know how to deal with it when it affects them or
someone close to them. Counselling psychologist
Michael Hardiman brings us step by step along the
route to addiction. Dividing the book into four
sections, he starts by explaining what addiction
is, what causes it and what sustains it. Part 2
explains chemical dependence, part 3 addictive
behaviours and part 4 recovery. |

First: A New Approach to Intervention for Alcoholism and

| Jeff
Jay, Debra Jay |
| A
study of drugs - the different kinds of drugs, the
reasons why people take drugs, the ways in which
people have used drugs, and some of the
difficulties to which drug-taking can lead. The
various hazards of use discussed include the
physical and psychological health of users, the
social penalties incurred by use of abuse, and the
risk of dependence. In addition, the effects of
drugs may be directly linked to the drug effect or
indirectly related to behavioural patterns of use
or to social consequences of use. The book is also
about the ordinariness of drug taking. Where drugs
are presented as though they were something alien
and unusually dangerous, it tries to put
drug-taking in a more balanced perspective,
showing that even those who drink tea or coffee
are drug takers. There are updated definitions of
the main terms used within the fields of drugs and
alcohol |
