The pocketbooks explore key practical skills involved in such areas as mental capacity, report writing and assessment."

The useful, concise guide to types of drugs, their uses, what they look like and what symptoms they cause is something to be referred to again and again. The book also provides important reminders to encourage those working with adult substance misusers and those working with the children of drug misusing parents to work together and understand each other's roles".
