Substance use and substance use disorders (SUDs) have been
documented in a number of cultures since the beginnings of recorded
time and represent major societal concerns in the present day. The
Oxford Handbook of Substance Use and Substance Use Disorders
provides comprehensive reviews of key areas of inquiry into the
fundamental nature of substance use and SUDs, their features,
causes, consequences, course, treatment, and prevention. It is
clear that understanding these various aspects of substance use and
SUDs requires a multidisciplinary perspective that considers the
pharmacology of drugs of abuse, genetic variation in these acute
and chronic effects, and psychological processes in the context of
the interpersonal and cultural contexts. Comprising two volumes,
this Handbook also highlights a range of opportunities and
challenges facing those interested in the basic understanding of
the nature of these phenomena and novel approaches to assess,
prevent, and treat these conditions with the goal of reducing the
enormous burden these problems place on our global society.
Chapters in Volume 1 cover the historical and cultural contexts of
substance use and its consequences, its epidemiology and course,
etiological processes from the perspective of neuropharmacology,
genetics, personality, development, motivation, and the
interpersonal and larger social environment. Chapters in Volume 2
cover major health and social consequences of substance
involvement, psychiatric comorbidity, assessment, and
interventions. Each chapter highlights key issues in the respective
topic area and raises unanswered questions for future research. All
chapters are authored by leading scholars in each topic. The level
of coverage is sufficiently deep to be of value to both trainees
and established scientists and clinicians interested in an
evidenced-based approach.
