This comprehensive volume presents a coherent and up-to-date review of the misuse of drugs by young people. It draws together an international group of authors from a range of professions, many well known in the field of addiction and adolescence. All drugs of abuse are considered, including alcohol and tobacco. Aspects reviewed include the short-term effects and long-term harms of these substances on the child/adolescent (as well as on the fetus when used in pregnancy), trends in use and misuse, assessment and management in the emergency department, psychiatric comorbidity, and the prevention and treatment of substance-misuse disorders. The various types of treatment are discussed, including cognitive behavioural therapy and family therapy, as well as pharmacological therapies for young people with substance use disorders and other mental-health problems. This book should appeal to a wide range of professionals in education, general practice, paediatrics, adolescent psychiatry and addiction.
Eilish Gilvarry is Consultant Psychiatrist and Clinical Director of the Drug and Alcohol Service in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
