Issues relating to alcohol 'misuse' can only properly be understood within their social and environmental contexts. This research and practice based book explores social models of alcohol misuse to offer a sociological approach to its treatment.Through considering the social meaning of women's alcohol use, the book challenges current policy and practice in the field. It raises concerns about the political role of 'treatment' in making women behave, or to be 'well', and aims to develop a new approach to women's drinking and new ways of aiding recovery, at national and local levels.With contributions from service users, academics and practitioners, this is essential reading for those studying addiction, gender and the social background to alcohol problems.
Industry Reviews
"A necessary exploration of the centrality of gender to the contested politics of alcohol mis(use). The diverse contributions expertly critique the stigmatisation of female drinkers across media and policy discourses and medical practice interventions." Thomas Thurnell-Read, Coventry University
