Drug Cultures and Policy in Germany, Central Asia and China

This volume emerged from the 25th International Week at Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences. The contributions it contains are based on papers that examine social work in the areas of drug use and treatment, HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases, and social work in prisons. They cover aspects of the history and international development of social work, plus drug policy and practice. All the contributions provide an up-to-date insight into the fascinating yet difficult task of social work in dealing with people with addiction problems.
