About the Book

This third edition represents the further development of a highly successful clinical text which has been acclaimed internationally. Two new authors bring strong additional expertise to the writing team, and the unique feature of this book remains its ability to address the realities of the clinical world directly while offering an authoritative review of the research literature. Extensively revised throughout, of particular note are completely new chapters covering alcohol as a drug, causes of excessive drinking, drinking problems and the life course, and a new look at both the physical complications associated with alcoholism and the organisation of treatment services. The authors adeptly address the everyday needs of the clinical front-line through presentations which are enlivened through personal clinical experience and illustrated by case vignette. A classic text in its field, this comprehensive and timely new edition will ensure its continued popularity.

Review :
'… a classic … Griffith Edwards and colleagues have done a marvellous job in adding relevant new material without losing themselves to the often short-lived fashions of the alcohol-therapy world … they have added four entirely new chapters … I regard this book as the best overview on the subject for practitioners who wish to understand and help people with alcohol problems ... a unique perspective … elegant and succinct prose, … an absolute must to read.' Jürgen T. Rehm, The Lancet 'This is a compassionate book written for anyone, generalist or specialist, who is likely to be caring for those who suffer from the misuse of alcohol. The text is comprehensive, well-written, up-to-date, and broad-minded. If you own only one book on alcoholism and its treatment this is the one to purchase.' George E. Valliant, Harvard Medical School 'Advances in the biological understanding of alcohol dependence are beginning to influence treatment approaches, and have been distilled for the new edition. As a practical, person-centred, empathic guide to helping people with alcohol problems, this beautifully written work remains the exemplar.' Jonathan Chick, Consultant Psychiatrist, Alcohol Problems Clinic, Edinburgh ' … highly readable … an invaluable resource … provides an authoritative grounding … contains a wealth of readily accessible information … essential reading for all workers in specialist drug and alcohol agencies.' Drug News 'Being highly readable makes this book an invaluable resource to both specialist and generic practitioners in the caring professions … an authoritative grounding … contains a wealth of readily accessible information on drinking problems and is therefore essential reading for all workers in specialist drug and alcohol agencies'. Maudsley/Regional Drug Training Unit 'Ever since it first appeared in 1982 this has been the book I have recommended as reading for colleagues working with alcohol-related problems for the first time. Happily the quality and the consistency of the writing remains unchanged. this is an ideal starter's text for those who are going to work clinically … Its particular virtue is the sense of practical experience tested over a long period, presented in readily understandable form … This text continues to be a must for anyone working in the field of alcohol misuse.' Bruce Ritson, Addiction Biology 'The reputation of this book as the definitive text on the subject of treatment for individuals with drinking problems has been further enhanced by this excellent third edition … this book is extremely well written and accessible throughout … Everywhere individuals with drinking problems attend for treatment should have a copy of this book.'
