Taking a unique perspective, this book argues for a psychosocial approach to dual diagnosis and draws on this to highlight practice skills with specific groups including individuals, families and communities. The book aims to de-mystify the concept of dual diagnosis by critically examining the historical and contemporary social and political discourse surrounding both the use of substances (both legal and illegal) combined with the experience of mental health issues.
