I would regard it as essential reading for all those seeking to develop or improve practice with substance-misusing parents.\" (Oxford Journals Clippings, 1 January 2012)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\"The practice of social work in relation to children at risk and the problem of substance misuse are both high up the public policy agenda and never out of the media spotlight. Forrester and Harwin draw on their own important research and that of others to raise challenging questions, not only about how social workers find it difficult to deal effectively with parental alcohol and drug problems, but also about the need to bring fresh thinking to social work more generally. The issues they raise, in a thoroughly engaging and scholarly way, make this a key text for all those concerned about families and children at risk and about the future of the social work profession.\u003cbr\u003e —\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eJim Orford\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e,\u003c\/b\u003e Professor of Psychology, University of Birmingham, UK\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Authors.  \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 1.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 What is 'Substance Misuse'?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Impact of Parental Substance Misuse on Child Welfare.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 2.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Parental Substance Misuse and Children’s Services.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 The Social Worker Assessments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 What Happened to the Children and Their Parents?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 3.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 What Works in Engaging Parents Who Misuse Drugs or Alcohol?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 What Works?
