This handbook brings together research and innovation across two important and related fields, quality of life (QoL) and addiction recovery. Though both fields of research are equally vibrant, this volume brings together the advancing scholarly exploration of the intersection between QoL and addiction recovery. It provides comprehensive coverage of the theoretical perspectives on QoL in the field of addiction and recovery; instruments and methodologies to assess QoL; different types of addiction in specific populations and QoL; and practices and interventions for supporting recovery and promoting QoL. It importantly includes international and intercultural perspectives on QoL and addiction recovery. By including sound theoretical, conceptual, historical, empirical and cross-cultural contributions on QoL and addictions, the volume offers many opportunities for advancing support, treatment and recovery of persons with addiction problems based on their subjective perspectives and experiences.
This handbook is a go-to resource for a wide interdisciplinary readership interested in quality-of-life research, subjective well-being, public health, and addiction research.
