Description:
Dual Diagnosis: Practice in Context is a practical
evidence-based guide for practitioners working in
multi-disciplinary mental health and substance misuse service
settings. Divided into three sections, this comprehensive and
international text first explores the contemporary contextual
issues surrounding the subject area.  It then goes on to
review dual diagnosis in some of the ?special?
populations (including people diagnosed with personality disorders,
women, young people, and older adults) and contemporary issues
(e.g. crystal methamphetamine and mental health).  
Part three reviews the development of international service
responses to dual diagnosis and discusses the development and
commissioning of service models, research and practice development.
The text concludes with a chapter outlining priorities for the
development of interventions, service approaches, research and
education.
