Produktbeschreibung
Parental misuse of drugs and alcohol has been recognized as a major challenge for child and family services in recent years - it is not a small-scale problem that can be left to specialists, but an issue that every professional working with children or their families encounters on a regular basis. In this book two of the leading experts in this area present their own original research findings, and insights from the wider literature, to define 'substance misuse' and to outline key elements in responding effectively to this issue. Their approach suggests that the best way to tackle the problem is to focus on the needs of both the child and the parent. The authors provide tried and tested evidence-based guidelines for effective practice for those assessing families affected by parents who misuse drugs or alcohol. In addition, the authors suggest that these approaches offer the opportunity to improve practice and policy responses across the field.

Rezensionen
"There are some books that deserve a place in the small and well-thumbed libraries that accrue in practice settings, and this is one of them. I would regard it as essential reading for all those seeking to develop or improve practice with substance-misusing parents." (Oxford Journals Clippings, 1 January 2012)
