Family Therapy and Systemic Practice
UK therapist Alan Carr expounds upon the psychotherapy method presented in his 1995 treatment manual, Positive Practice: A Step by Step Guide to Family Therapy. Via collected papers published from 1986-1997, he discusses the evolution of this brief integrative approach to consultation with families who require help with child- focused psychosocial difficulties, its clinical applications, a review of evaluation studies, and family psychology as an emerging field. Child protection issues, but not system specifics, are generalizable to therapeutic settings in the US. No index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Refugees in an Age of Genocide
This is a study of the history of global refugee movements over the 20th century, ranging from east European Jews fleeing Tsarist oppression at the turn of the century to asylum seekers from the former Zaire and Yugoslavia.

The Misuse of Alcohol
In the 1980s the study of alcoholism was in a period of rapid change, this book, originally published in 1985, identifies and explores the three most controversial contemporary issues: changes at the basic explanatory level in our concept of harmful drinking; the undermining of our confidence that drinking behaviour can be effectively modified in the traditional context of ‘treatment’; and the changes in our concept of the effective prevention of harmful drinking. The authors of the book came from a variety of backgrounds, but all were members of the New Directions in the Study of Alcohol Group. They broadly reject the disease concept of alcoholism, but, as this volume shows, there is still scope for vigorous debate and this book should have something of interest for all concerned with problems of alcoholism.
