In Neuropsychological Aspects of Substance Use Disorders,
internationally recognized experts provide clinicians with the most
up to date information on the neuropsychology of substance use
disorders based on the empirical literature. Substance use
disorders continue to be a major health concern in the United
States and worldwide, although their causes and effective
treatments remain elusive. Research in this area has expanded
dramatically over the past two decades and provided insights into
psychobiological, behavioral, and genetic factors that contribute
to the onset and maintenance of substance use disorders and
associated neuropsychological abnormalities. This research has
provided a strong empirical foundation that has direct implications
for clinical neuropsychological practice and created a need to
provide the practitioner with a cogent and up-to-date summary of
current developments, which is the goal of this volume. Chapters in
this volume are organized into three sections that are designed to
provide a translational overview of basic research and treatment
findings regarding addictions, neuropsychological and neurological
sequalae of the most common substances of abuse, and consideration
of special issues that might confound interpretation of
neuropsychological test results. Section I provides an overview of
addictions, including diagnoses based on the DSM-IV, as well as the
most current conceptualizations of addiction from psychobiological,
genetic, and behavioral and no economics perspectives, providing
the reader with a broad evidence-based conceptual framework.
Section II reviews the most common substances of abuse including
coverage of structural and functional neuroimaging findings,
epidemiological evidence, and neuropsychological sequelae.
Substances included in this section represent the most commonly
encountered drugs of abuse. Section III includes coverage of the
number of special topics, including specific issues related to
psychiatric, medical, and neurological comorbidities. Topics
included in this section represent areas of common concerns faced
by clinical neuropsychologists in the interpretation and
application of neuropsychological test results.
