The first volume to provide access to information on drug treatment
systems from a wide cross-section of 20 countries, Drug Treatment
Systems in an International Perspective examines the ways in which
other counties from around the world have chosen to cope with the
spread of illicit drugs. Now health planners and administrators,
treatment professionals, researchers, and students can place the
development of their own treatment systems in a wider context and
can examine the extent to which that development shares common
structural features with those of other countries and cultures.
Following a comparative discussion of the various countries, the
volume addresses four key issues: gender specific treatment, the
politics of financing and evaluation, the private sector and state
control, and exporting drug treatment ideologies. It provides a
comparative and cross-cultural perspective on drug treatment
approaches today and examines the influence of social, political,
and economic forces on the treatment of drug addicts. In addition,
the editors have included a handy glossary, which explains key
terms unfamiliar to readers outside the particular country.
Providing and interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective to
drug treatment, Drug Treatment Systems in an International
Perspective will be of interest academics, students, and
professionals in psychology, especially those focusing on clinical
psychology, addiction, dependency, and treatment. It will also be
of great interest to public health planners and administrators.
