Counsellors and therapists sometimes work with clients who present particular issues, in which the therapist has no specialist training. Issues may highlight the need for specialist advice, so that they can continue to work with the client, or can decide if specialist help is required.This book is written in a question and answer style, with several types of reader in mind. It is intended primarily as a source of help for established counsellors and therapists, who wish to enhance their capacity to offer help to those affected by problematic drug-use. It will be of help also to those studying to become counsellors and therapists. It will also appeal to those who may wish to enquire further into the process of counselling those who use drugs, whatever the reasons for their curiosity. Typical questions about alcohol and drug use are answered by a series of experts in the field.

Rich traditions of group therapy permeate the substance misuse field - from residential and day-centre group programmes and the fellowship group tradition to the panoply of support/education and relapse prevention groups offered by out-patient services. There are specialist groups - e.g. art therapy and psychodrama- and groups for special population- e.g. relatives, prisoners and adult children of alcoholics. 
This important collection is written by many well-known experts, several renowned on the international stage, with perspectives from the UK, USA and Scandinavia. They share their extensive experiences in the conceptualisation, setting up and running of therapy groups. Ultimately, all are concerned in their groups to increase empathic contact and thereby to facilitate opportunities for addicts to embark upon change. With no equivalent UK book of its kind, the reader has a rare opportunity to consider this subject in impressive scope, diversity and depth.
