Description
"Within a holistic framework, this collection of readings offers the current landscape of addictions issues spanning micro, mezzo, and macro levels of practice across Canada. Written by social workers for social workers—plus a moving personal narrative by Thomas Miller, a non-social worker who identifies himself as a Native of Canada—the book highlights intersectionality across a range of marginalized populations and the importance of trauma-informed practice. Useful as a resource for practicing social workers, as a course textbook, or as individual chapters to supplement another textbook."
—Kimberly A. Calderwood, PhD, RSW, Full Professor, Department of Social Work, Trent University
Praise for the Third Edition:
"This new edition begins by providing a necessary and comprehensive foundation to the understanding of addiction. The updated chapters and exciting new content enhance the relevancy of this text as a valuable resource for students, both within the social work curriculum and beyond into practice."
—Tracey A. Bone, Faculty of Social Work, University of Manitoba
