Centre for Addiction and Mental Health's Books

In partnership with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), Tundra is proud to launch an important series of books for children who have to cope with adult-sized problems. Young Alex’s father had been a policeman until he began to suffer from depression, perhaps the most common mental health issue we face. Alex’s questions are those that are often asked by the children of parents who have depression: is the parent simply lazy? Does he no longer care? And is it something I can catch, like a cold? In simple, straightforward language, the book explains what depression is and how it is treated. It also prepares a child for working with a helping professional. And perhaps most important, it reassures a child that he or she is not alone. Written by Canada’s foremost experts in the field, this is an important book to spur discussion and allay fears of those affected by depression.

Children of parents who drink too much alcohol are affected in many ways. They may experience anger, fear, confusion, and guilt. This reassuring book, written by professionals, offers information in the form of a story about one family’s struggle. When Dad’s drinking ruins a birthday party, everyone wishes that he would just stop. If only wishing could fix the problem! Wishes and Worries is an excellent way to open a discussion between adult and child. It provides straightforward answers to common questions. Why does my parent drink? Will I drink too much, too? What can I do to help? Is it my fault? The book also includes important information for parents, teachers, and professionals. Wishes and Worries is an excellent resource for children affected by adult problems.

This clinical guideline, commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) sets out clear recommendations, based on the best available evidence, for health care professionals on how to work with people with alcohol use disorders, in order to improve their treatment and care. About a quarter of the UK population drink alcohol at a level that is harmful and over 4% are dependent. Alcohol use disorders are also increasing in children and young people. This new guideline reviews the evidence for the diagnosis and assessment of alcohol use disorders, organisation and delivery of care, assisted alcohol withdrawal, and psychological and pharmacological interventions, and includes a chapter on experience of care. It comes with a free CD-ROM that contains all the data used as evidence, including: included and excluded studies, profile tables that summarise both the quality of the evidence and the results of the evidence synthesis, all meta-analytical data, presented as forest plots and detailed information about how to use and interpret forest plots.

This text sets out clear recommendations for healthcare staff (based on the best available evidence) on how to assess and manage adults and young people (aged 14+) who have both psychosis and a substance misuse problem, in order to integrate treatment for both conditions and thus improve their care.

Civil law provides a framework within which people conduct their daily lives, and civil court cases often relate to problems that affect people's basic life opportunities and well-being. This is the 2nd edition of this publication which sets out the key findings of surveys conducted in England and Wales in 2001 and 2004, the most extensive of its kind so far, undertaken to examine people's experiences of civil law problems, including exploring social, economic and health consequences. Issues discussed include: the links between the civil justice system, crime and social exclusion, the relatively infrequent use of formal legal processes, and the obstacles that can prevent problems being resolved.
