It inspired written testimonials from William McKinley, Thomas
Edison, and Sarah Bernhardt; merited a medal from Pope Leo XIII;
produced "exhilaration and lasting euphoria" in Sigmund Freud. Once
the stimulant of choice of the enlightened and the elite, cocaine
has become, a century later, a plague, ravaging the lives of
millions. This book is the first to draw together all the facts
about this pervasive drug - from its natural occurrence in a
tea-like native South American plant to its devastating appearance
as crack in the inner cities of the United States. Drawing on the
latest work in medicine, psychiatry, neuroscience, pharmacology,
epidemiology, social work, and sociology, the volume is a highly
accessible reference on the history and use of cocaine, its
physical and psychological effects, and the etiology and
epidemiology of cocaine addiction. It also provides a critical
evaluation of the pharmaceutical agents and psychosocial
interventions that have been used to treat this addiction. Author
Jerome J. Platt answers such basic questions as: What is cocaine?
What forms does it come in? How is it administered? What does it
do? What are the medical complications of cocaine addiction? What
are the treatments, and how successful are they? Uniquely
comprehensive, Cocaine Addiction makes all the latest information
on this urgent subject readily available to medical professionals
and practitioners, social workers and scholars, and anyone who
cares to know more about this perennially troubling drug.
