Solvent abuse is a relatively new phenomenon and very little has been written on the subject. John Cameron has been running a specialised clinic for solvent abusers for several years, and with his wide experience of dealing with addiction is well qualified to write on the subject. He presents information about the variety of solvents available and how they are abused, and also discusses the various treatments, support available for parents, education on solvents for school children and the preventative aspects including the up-to-date treatments such as the use of computers and videos. In view of the increasing number of youngsters who are using solvents, this book is invaluable, not only to professional workers in the addiction field, but also to parents and members of the public who have an interest in addiction. The book is essential reading for professionals such as nurses, social workers and teachers, especially those with a pastoral role. This book should be of interest to nurses, social workers, teachers and parents and members of the public with an interest in addiction.
