In the 14 years since the first edition of Addictions was
published, a wealth of substantive and crucial new findings have
been added to our knowledge of alcohol and other substance use
disorders. This primary reference has now been updated and expanded
to include 38 chapters, all completely rewritten to reflect new
knowledge gained about the science of alcohol and other drugs, as
well as new treatment approaches and research trends. Addictions: A
Comprehensive Guidebook, Second Edition, features a roster of
senior scientists covering the latest findings in the study of
alcohol and other drug use, abuse, and dependence. Skilfully edited
by Drs. Barbara S. McCrady and Elizabeth E. Epstein, the chapters
primarily review the literature published in the last 14 years
since the first edition. The volume covers seven different content
areas: Section I addresses broad conceptual issues as well as
information on the etiology, neuroscience, epidemiology and course
of alcohol and other drug use, abuse, and dependence. Section II
provides detailed pharmacological and clinical information on the
major drugs of abuse, including alcohol. Sections III, IV, and V
focus on knowledge of importance to clinical practice, including a
section on assessment and treatment planning, information on a
range of empirically supported treatments, and issues related to
clinical practice. Section VI provides information about specific
population groups, and Section VII addresses policy, prevention,
and economic issues in the field. The book is appropriate for a
wide variety of readers who are either treating, learning to treat,
doing research on, or teaching about addictions. Comprehensive and
succinct, it is written in a manner that is accessible and useful
to practitioners, students, clinician trainees, and researchers. It
is also an ideal textbook for graduate courses and training
programs in psychology, psychiatry, social work, and addictions
certifications, and for advanced undergraduate courses on alcohol
and other substance use disorders
