Opis

Trauma, trauma-related disorders, substance use, and addictive disorders often co-occur, and frequently play a role in the problems and issues that social workers contend with in their practice with individuals, families, and communities. Research shows that there is a relationship between trauma-related symptoms and problematic use of substances and other addictive behaviors. This book examines various types of trauma amongst various populations and settings, and explores the challenges in delivering trauma services in outpatient addiction treatment settings. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions.
