***Apologies for cross posting*** The journal of Advances in Dual Diagnosis<http://listmanager.emeraldinsight.com/t/23147/15674964/4177013/7/> is a quarterly publication offering a hugely valuable source of information for practitioners, frontline staff, managers and researchers working with people who are dually diagnosed. The journal aims to support frontline workers in the delivery of evidence-based practice and provides a forum for the debate of current issues and opinions.
