The second edition of this book incorporates the latest theory,
research, and best practices for understanding, treating, and
preventing substance abuse among adolescents. It updates the
progress made in treatments for and prevention of the misuse of
substances and adds new specific chapters on prescriptions,
opiates, and methamphetamine abuse. The book discusses the effects
of commonly abused substances, from tobacco and alcohol to
stimulants and opioids, on the human brain and the various
psychosocial routes to their misuse by adolescents. Chapters
provide evidence-based guidelines for assessing adolescent
treatment needs and review psychological, pharmacological, family,
and self-help interventions. The book offers new paths in diverse
directions, analyzes the core components of substance use
prevention, critiques emerging school-based interventions, and
introduces a nuanced reconceptualization of recovery. Topics
featured in the book include: The effect of family and caregiver
situations on adolescent substance abuse. A biological/genetic
perspective on adolescent substance abuse. School-based preventions
and the evolution of evidence-based strategies. The role of
adolescent self-help in substance abuse interventions.
Community-based interventions to reduce alcohol use and misuse.
Adolescent Substance Abuse, Second Edition, is a must-have
reference for researchers, clinicians/practitioners, and graduate
students in the fields of child and school psychology, social work,
public health, developmental psychology, child and adolescent
psychiatry, and various interrelated mental health and social
policy arenas.
