<br/><br/> For people with alcohol excess and liver disease, successful management must be two-fold with management of both their psychological/physical addiction to alcohol and their liver disease. Alcohol Abuse and liver disease, with its joint focus on hepatology and psychiatry, provides both hepatologists and psychiatrists of all levels with a practical, concise and didactic guide to the investigation and clinical management of those with alcohol-related problems.<br/><br/>Edited by a practicing hepatologist in the UK and a practising specialist in psychiatry/substance abuse in the US, it covers areas such as:<br/><br/>• Risk factors for alcoholic liver disease<br/><br/>• Interaction of alcohol with other co-morbidities<br/><br/>• Clinical assessment of alcohol intake<br/><br/>• Detoxification and management of withdrawal<br/><br/>• Psychotherapeutic and pharmaceutical interventions<br/><br/>• Treatment of liver disease<br/><br/>Key points, management diagrams and high-quality images are all be supported by the very latest in clinical guidelines from the major hepatology and psychiatry societies such as the APA, EPA, AASLD and EASL.<br/><br/>With increasing emphasis on multi-disciplinary speciality care in this area, this is the ideal tool to consult in order to provide the best care possible care for what are very challenging patients to manage.
