Image of ABC of Alcohol (3rd edition)

The frequency of alcohol misuse and its many guises touch the lives of us all, and heavy drinking is a problem that GPs are in an ideal position to detect because they see and advise so many people. The purpose of this book is to widen horizons so as to provide a core of knowledge that will give GPs the confidence to deal with people who misuse alcohol. Practical guidance is given on how to define and detect alcohol misuse, help patients through treatment, counselling, and referral to self-help organisations. Greater emphasis has also been placed on social problems, which far outweigh those caused by physical harm. Chapters include Alcohol in the Body, Asking the Right Questions, Tools of Detection and Detection in General Practice.Ordering restrictions apply.
