Sommario/riassunto

The book brings together the most up-to-date knowledge and expertise covering the whole topic of alcohol. It presents the practical skills needed to offer ethical intervention and treatment and implement ethical person-centered care. It is a practice-based text that aims to improve ethical relationships, responses, care and practice necessary to be effective in interventions and treatment with those experiencing



alcohol use and health problems. The focus is on combining the principles and philosophy of alcohol prevention and intervention, in hospital and community. Each chapter provides self-assessment exercises, reflective practice exercises, key points and a "to learn more" section, and develops a theoretical framework, before broadening to include application in care and practice. This work will appeal to a wide readership, from professionals working within the mental health care and practice environment to mental health students.
