When this series was conceived, a book on substance abuse,
including alcohol and alcoholism, was to be of the highest
priority. This priority was a reflection of my view that the
subject is often inadequately or insufficient ly taught in many
training programs. Few clinicians have had comprehen sive didactic
education in this area, despite the frequency with which these
problems are encountered in practice. All too often these
encounters are in situations in which accurate diagnosis and rapid
treatment are of critical im portance. We wanted a book that would
be concise and easily readable but also comprehensive in its
presentation of the basic principles underlying clinical
manifestations, diagnosis, and management. It was of particular im
portance that the book also serve as an easy reference guide in
emergency situations. Marc Schuckit, a man with impeccable
credentials as a scholar and an experienced clinician in this
field, produced just such a book with his critically acclaimed
first edition. That volume rapidly became a resource of great
significance for psychiatrists, psychotherapists, and physicians in
general. It has been adopted as a text in medical schools and
residency train ing, as well as for courses in psychology,
emergency medicine, social work, and nursing. The entire volume has
been revised and updated to reflect changes in knowledge and
clinical practice since the publication of the first edition and in
order to keep the comprehensive references current. There is a new
chapter on phencyclidine and another on caffeine and nicotine."
