Written by authors with extensive experience within mental health and drug treatment services,Working with Dual Diagnosisexplores areas that are key to understanding the relationship between the two, including:
  • models for understanding substance use, mental health and the correlation of complex social and psychological factors;
  • treatment processes for working with individuals, groups and families and within a community setting;
  • the historical social, political, economic and legislative context of mental health and substance use;
  • practice implications for dual diagnosis, including how practitioners can work with and promote better treatment, after care and support for those experiencing dual diagnosis issues.
