This proposed book draws on the expertise of 35 experts in the
field of Addiction Medicine to provide the reader with a current
and comprehensive view of addiction as related to women, pregnancy,
newborns, infants and children. The volume begins by placing
current attitudes towards addicted women in a historical context,
and continues with contributions on the relationship of gender to
substance abuse research, addiction as a general health issue in
women, and ethical dilemmas faced when approaching drug use during
pregnancy. The volume discusses high-risk pregnancies and HIV
infection related to maternal drug abuse. It details specific
pharmacotherapy such as methadone and buprenorphine, and assesses
society's punitive view toward illicit drug using women. Finally,
the book describes outcomes of newborns, infants and children born
following intrauterine drug exposure. Health providers in many
related disciplines, specialists in Addiction Medicine, social
workers and ethicists are among those who will gain insight into
the complex interdisciplinary matrix of abuse in women, its unique
relationship to pregnancy, and its impact on drug-exposed children.
This book was published as a special issue in the Journal of
Addictive Diseases.
