Dear Neil, Enoch and Colleagues,
I will post news of this thematic discussion in the next few days. [*see note below]
Just to highlight again the utility of Hodges' model in this context (across addictions):
health education - prevention;therapeutic approaches - motivational interviewing ...;physical - cognitive impacts ...legal aspects and policy (national - global);forensic psychiatry - addiction - domestic violence - crime;determinants of health -- 'health career' as 'life chancesin-patient - community teams - primary care;medication - prescribing - out of hours;socio-economics of alcohol;demographics - epidemiology...
Hodges' model is *situated*.
In 1987 I visited community alcohol services in Salford, Preston ... for a study (unpublished) we had no provision locally in Chorley, UK.
I have nursed several individuals in the community with Korsakoff's syndrome and in residential - nursing homes.
