Focusing on two central themes--the psychobiological evolution from
youth to adult and the effects of drugs on the developing central
nervous system--this important reference elucidates the mechanisms
of chemical dependency in adolescents. Its multidisciplinary
coverage analyzes addiction across major domains of human
functioning against the backdrop of hormonal, cognitive, and other
changes that accompany the transition to adulthood. Chapters
discuss legal as well as illicit drugs, examine age-related social
contexts, and present the latest findings on links between drug use
and mental disorders. Throughout, the contributors make clear that
education is more valuable to understanding--and
preventing--substance abuse than are prohibition and zero-tolerance
thinking. Included among the topics: Â Cognitive development,
learning, and drug use. Neurobiology of the action of drugs of
abuse. Findings in adolescents with substance dependence based on
neuroimaging tests. Alcohol abuse in adolescents: relevance of
animal models. Effects of chronic drug abuse on the chronobiology
of sleep in adolescents. Neurological and cognitive disorders
arising from the chronic use of drugs of abuse. The multiple lenses
for understanding its subject and the sensitivity with which causal
nuances are treated make Neuroscience of Drug Abuse in Adolescence
an invaluable resource for clinical and child psychologists,
psychiatrists, social workers, and addiction counselors.
