The Violence and Addiction Equation - Theoretical and Clinical Issues in Substance Abuse and Relationship Violence (Hardcover)

Addiction and relationship violence are serious and undeniably prevalent societal problems with high costs to families and individuals, as well as concomitant costs to health care, school, and social systems. The co-occurence of addiction and abuse is a reality that has yet to be fully acknowledged and explored from either a theoretical or practical perspective.
The Violence and Addiction Equation: Theoretical and Clinical Issues in Substance Abuse and Relationship Violence addresses the addiction-violence overlap by assembling state-of-the-art theory and research in these areas to document the connection and the problem while also exploring prevention and treatment.
Chapters cover biological bases of addiction and abuse, personality factors in the equation, developmental, psychopathological and cognitive social-learning models, and numerous issues in clinical treatment. Also presented are perspectives on interpersonal violence and addiction across the lifespan: from adolescence and young adult through partnership, parenthood, and maturity. This book represents a primary effort to pull together separate fields and offer essential assistance to researchers and practitioners working to alleviate the combined impact of addiction and violence.
