This thoroughly updated edition features eight new chapters and streamlines the content of the previous editions, with chapters condensed and combined to create a more accessible text.The fourth edition features new content on themes such as residential schools, prevention initiatives, special needs of different populations, policy perspectives framed within an anti-oppression standpoint, cognitive behavioral therapy, and the emerging topic of problem gambling. Returning chapters have been updated, with contributors providing more in-depth examinations of trauma-informed approaches. The entire volume has a strengthened anti-oppressive framework, on both an overarching and by-chapter level. This celebrated and varied collection is an indispensable resource for upper-level students, graduate students, and practitioners working in the fields of social work, addictions studies, and the helping professions.

"Within a holistic framework, this collection of readings offers the current landscape of addictions issues spanning micro, mezzo, and macro levels of practice across Canada. Written by social workers for social workers—plus a moving personal narrative by Thomas Miller, a non-social worker who identifies himself as a Native of Canada—the book highlights intersectionality across a range of marginalized populations and the importance of trauma-informed practice. Useful as a resource for practicing social workers, as a course textbook, or as individual chapters to supplement another textbook."—Kimberly A. Calderwood, PhD, RSW, Full Professor, Department of Social Work, Trent UniversityPraise for the Third Edition:"This new edition begins by providing a necessary and comprehensive foundation to the understanding of addiction. The updated chapters and exciting new content enhance the relevancy of this text as a valuable resource for students, both within the social work curriculum and beyond into practice."—Tracey A. Bone, Faculty of Social Work, University of Manitoba
