The focus is on combining the principles and philosophy of alcohol prevention and intervention, in hospital and community.Each chapter provides self-assessment exercises, reflective practice exercises, key points and  a "to learn more" section, and develops a theoretical framework, before broadening to include application in care and practice. This work will appeal to a wide readership, from  professionals working within the mental health care and practice environment to mental health students.
