Table Of ContentThe Routledge Handbook of Social
Work and Addictive Behaviors
The Routledge Handbook of Social Work and Addictive Behaviors is a definitive resource about
addictive behaviors, emphasizing substance misuse, gambling, and problematic technology
use. Contents address their prevalence in various communities and populations globally,
theories related to their origins and etiology, and what is currently known about effective
intervention strategies, education, and research. Social work’s biopsychosocial, lifespan, and
person-in-environment perspectives underpin the book contents which are applicable to
a wide range of professional and social science disciplines. Contents are divided into five
sections:
• The scope and nature of addictive behavior and related problems
• Addictive behavior across the lifespan and specific populations
• Interventions to prevent and address addictive behavior and related problems
• Issues frequently co-occurring with addictive behavior
• Moving forward
This handbook provides students, practitioners, and scholars with a strong focus on
cutting-edge high-quality research. With contributions from a global interdisciplinary team
of leading scholars, this handbook is relevant to readers from social work, public health,
psychology, education, sociology, criminal justice, medicine, nursing, human services, and
health professions.
