Alcohol and drug abuse are among the gravest and most widespread
problems clinical psychologists must treat. Though the problems
seem perennial, diagnosis and treatment have been steadily refined,
allowing professional psychologists to assess more variables and to
offer more effective help. This volume surveys the latest advances
in research and therapy and reconsiders standard treatment
practices.
The contributors to "Alcohol and Addictive Behavior," all of
them established professionals, focus on such key issues as the
effect of addiction on the family, the influence of genetics, and
the source of alcohol and drug craving. Much of what they report is
based on new and ongoing research that should have considerable
influence in the future treatment of alcohol and substance
abusers.
