Review "Ive been waiting for a book like this. Not only does David Best clearly outline the theoretical framework that underpins his approach to addiction and recovery, he gives clear, straightforward examples of how they work in practice. This book is that rare thing; a manual for researchers and practitioners alike." Rowdy Yates, President of European Federation of Therapeutic CommunitiesIn this remarkable new book, David Best turns his considerable gifts toward developing a full-fledged sociology of "hope" - surely the most important and misunderstood concept in the fields of criminology and addiction studies. My hope is that it starts a revolution of hope studies in recovery work."

Review Quote "Ive been waiting for a book like this. Not only does David Best clearly outline the theoretical framework that underpins his approach to addiction and recovery, he gives clear, straightforward examples of how they work in practice. This book is that rare thing; a manual for researchers and practitioners alike." Feature This book is unique in the way it synthesises new evidence, and provides practical guidance around community building and the power of a strengths based model to support the inclusion of addicts and offenders back in to their communities. Concrete examples will show how stigma can be challenged and overcome and how people in recovery and coming out of prison are offered opportunities to integrate back into social activities, good quality housing, training and employment. There are core lessons for a range of professionals about how to effectively engage with diverse community groups and to learn from a diverse range of innovative projects and programmes.
