Recensione:

" Sarah Galvani has produced a very important text. Substance misuse difficulties, in all their complexity, are woven into the fabric of society. People with difficulties sometimes noticed more for the problems they cause than the problems they face. This comprehensive text helps us to address both ethics and practise and will go a long way to build practitioner confidence and effectiveness. " --Rhoda Emlyn-Jones, Cardiff County Council and Consultant to Welsh Government IFSS.

"Sarah Galvani has written an excellent text, which will vastly improve social workers knowledge of and skills in how to deal with alcohol and drug problems in their daily practice." --Richard Velleman, University of Bath.

"An excellent and timely book. Its clear focus on social work practice and values is anchored in relevant research evidence, making it an invaluable resource for students and qualified practitioners." --Rachel Lart, University of Bristol
