This book presents the main concepts and tools for the adoption of
a biopsychosocial approach to psychotropic substances use and abuse
management, prevention and treatment. It aims to provide resources
for the design and implementation of health strategies and public
policies to deal with psychotropic substances use in a way that
fully recognizes the complex articulations between its biological,
psychological and social aspects, taking these three dimensions
into account to develop both health and social care policies and
strategies aimed at psychotropic substance users. The book is
organized in five parts. Part one presents a historical overview of
psychotropic substances use throughout human history and introduces
key concepts to understand the phenomenon from a biopsychosocial
perspective. The next three parts approach psychotropic substances
use from one of the interrelated dimensions of the biopsychosocial
perspective: part two focuses on the neurobiological aspects; part
three, on the psychological aspects; and part four, on the social
aspects and its implications for public policy design. Finally, a
fifth part is dedicated to special topics related to psychotropic
substances use. Drugs and Human Behavior: Biopsychosocial Aspects
of Psychotropic Substances Use is a guide to public agents, health
professionals and social workers interested in adopting the
biopsychosocial perspective to develop and implement both health
and social care strategies and policies based on an
interdisciplinary approach and aimed at dealing with psychotropic
substance users in a more humanized way.
