The book looks at how the women understand the processes which lead them to be embroiled in such relationships and examines their accounts from a variety of theoretical and practical perspectives. Living with Drink approaches this area from two complimentary angles. First, the women's own understanding of the situation is examined: their experiences, how they cope and their perception of how they arrived in this situation. Second, six experts comment on the women's accounts of their lives, each from a different theoretical perspective, which reflect the broad range of current thinking in this area.      Contributors: Barbara Cottman, Liz Cutland, David Fryer, Jim Orford, Jane Ussher, and Arlene Vetere.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49507940860177,"sku":"GOR004215021","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49627860402449,"sku":"GOR006499590","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0582298873.jpg?v=1750847449"},{"product_id":"counselling-for-alcohol-problems-book-richard-velleman-9780803984691","title":"Counselling for Alcohol Problems","description":"This practical book outlines the steps which counsellors can take on a day-to-day basis to help those who have problems with their use of alcohol - either as the main problem, or as one of many.

The myths and facts surrounding problem drinkers are also investigated. The step-by-step approach is backed up with detailed case illustrations and useful resource material. \"Counselling in Practice\" is a new series under the general editorship of Windy Dryden and E.

Overall, anyone wanting an understanding of the world of alcohol problems and the application of counselling in this area (particularly motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioural approaches) will find this book valuable' - Healthcare Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal '...there is much in this book which will prove useful for both the social worker and the social work student who wishes to acquire practice advice and information that draws upon the most relevant and recent research - especially in relation to work with the individual problem drinker and families' - British Journal of Social Work 'Richard Velleman writes with the voice of an experienced clinician, his ear keenly tuned both to his clients and the counsellors who see them. His premises are deceptively simple, but reflect both the clinician's compassion and the scientist's reason: people drink for reasons and the clinician's challenge is to understand those reasons; each client is unique and should be treated that way; no one treatment fits all clients; empower clients to change; use skills and knowledge from research. Behind each principle is a depth of wisdom plus practical advice about how to put each premise into practice.

Alcohol-related problems are now recognized as being near the very top of the world league table of health and social problems. Since the large majority of problem drinkers are adults aged between 22 and 55, many are parents with children or adolescents in their care. In the USA alone, there are estimated to be over six million children under the age of 18 living with a parent with a drinking problem, and over 22 million adults - one in every eight American adults - who were brought up with a parent who had a drinking problem. Clearly, many children who grow up in this sort of environment have a difficult childhood. Velleman and Orford examine the question of what happens to such children when they grow up.  Risk and Resilience  focuses on three main themes: What is the likelihood of such young adults developing drinking problems themselves?
