Treating Drinkers and Drug Users in the Community is the second book in a new collection from Addiction Press. Addiction Press was set up with the express purpose of communicating current ideas and evidence in this expanding field, not only to researchers and practising health professionals, but also to policy makers, students and interested non-specialists. These publications are designed to address the significant challenges that addiction presents to modern society. The drugs field has undergone a phase of rapid change in recent years and all the non-medical treatment interventions for those with alcohol problems and dependence can be equally helpful for drug users. This has opened the way for unification of alcohol and drug treatment services at a clinical level, with potential for more efficient service provision and for effective interventions which can be readily adopted in a wide range of settings. Modern drug and alcohol services and all professionals working with substance users will benefit from the initiatives and procedures discussed in this book. Key features * Describes a wide range of treatments for young people and adults with drug and alcohol dependence * Integrates alcohol and drug prevention and treatment * Provides an invaluable and accessible guide for many different professionals * Sets out assessment criteria, questionnaires, and a joint treatment framework

Yagnob Valley – Nature, history, and chances of a mountain community development in Tadjikistan / Долина р. Ягноб – природа, история и возможности развития горной общины в Таджикистане
Автор: A. Gunya
Год издания:
Долина р. Ягноб в своей верхней части представляет собой пример изолированного периферийного района, типичного для высокогорных районов Азии и в особенности Таджикистана, где почти каждая высокогорная долина имеет свой неповторимый этнокультурный уклад и формы ресурсопользования с высокой степенью адаптации к природным условиям. Объективная природная изолированность Ягнобской долины способствовала сохранению в ее верховьях уникального народа – ягнобцев, язык которых близок к древнесогдийскому языку, относящемуся к восточно-иранской языковой группе. Жесткая зависимость характера природопользования от природных условий и процессов, а также удаленность и низкая доступность ограничили развитие и применение новых методов хозяйствования. В работе делается акцент на исследование пространства существования (экзистенциального пространства) ягнобцев, модель которого описывает характер использования земель, сопровождаемые при этом риски и возможные пути к их преодолению. В пределах нынешнего характера природопользования имеются четыре наиболее важных типа риска, угрожающих разрушению сложившихся природно-хозяйственных связей: агроклиматический риск, риск склоновых процессов, антропогенная деградация ландшафтов, социально-политический риск. The Yagnob Valley represents in its upper part an example of isolated peripheral area very typical for highlands of Asia and especially for Tadjikistan, where each mountain valley has its own unique ethnic and cultural style of life and land use structure highly adapted to natural conditions. The natural isolation of the Yagnob Valley was conductive to the preservation in its upper part of an unique ethnic group – the Yagnobis whose language is very similar to the Ancient Sogdian language attributed to the East-Iranian language group. A strict dependence of land use type on natural conditions and natural processes as well as the peripheral positions and low accessibility limited the development and application of new economic methods. The study is undertaken with respect to model of the existential space of Yagnobi community affecting land use, risks and possibilities for survival. Within the limits of the existing structure of the natural resources use there are four very important types of risks that threaten to destroy existing relationship between the natural environment and the local economy: agroclimatic risk, risk of slope processes, anthropogenic degradation, the social and political risk.
