Prescription For Addiction?: The Arizona & California Medical Drug Use

DIVThe probation service's venture into financial partnerships with non-statutory agencies during the 1990s was viewed both as a development opportunity for improving sevices and as a threat to professional identity and job security. Judith Rumgay studies partnership development with particular focus on programs for substance misusing offenders. She explores tensions between probation and voluntary organizations, identifies features common to successful partnerships, and compares partnership arrangements with in-house specialist projects. She argues that the partnership enterprise touches the heart of the probation service's mission in local communities.br/divDIVThe Partnership Enterprise * The Local Context * The Organization of Partnership * Partnership and Conflict * In-house Specialization * Treatment Under Coercion * The Statutory Team * Social Crime Prevention * The Projects Compared * Learning from Experience * Pathways to Partnershipbr/divDIVThe Partnership Enterprise * The Local Context * The Organization of Partnership * Partnership and Conflict * In-house Specialization * Treatment Under Coercion * The Statutory Team * Social Crime Prevention * The Projects Compared * Learning from Experience * Pathways to Partnershipbr/divDIVbJudith Rumgay/bis Senior Lecturer in Social Policy at the London School of Economics.br/div

Addictions are responsible for vast and growing morbidity, mortality, and misery in society. Until now, not only has the theoretical underpinning of the most commonly practised treatment approaches in the addictions field been scant, but the evidence for the effectiveness of these methods has also been generally lacking. In the cue exposure paradigm there is a rare opportunity to make a vital connection between theory and practice in the rational development of new treatment approaches. Cue exposure has become a routine clinical procedure in the treatment of phobic and obsessive-compulsive disorders and shows promise in the additions field. There is always a danger, however, that new approaches will become adopted into routine practice in an uncritical fashion. This book, therefore, brings together a series of invited reviews specially prepared by addictions experts from around the world. Together these reviews provide a much needed critical analysis of the evidence. The primary audience for the book is clinical psychologists and psychiatrists interested in addictions. However, it will also appeal to all graduates in these fields as a teaching and reference work.Partial table of contents:brCue Exposure in Understanding and Treating Addictive Behaviours (D.

Including the most up-to-date research, the addiction entries are based largely on criteria established by the American Psychiatric Association in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Tracing the history of the debate over whether addiction is a choice or a disease, the volumes explain how genetic and biological findings support the disease concept while lifestyle choices affect the course of the disease. Graphics and discussions of the brian structures that support this self-reinforcing mechanism illustrate why treatments that obstruct the pathway are showing such promise. The volumes offer an historical perspective including biographical information on pioneers in addictions research and treatment.
