Written by leaders in the addictions field, 100 authors from six
countries, this handbook is a thoroughly comprehensive resource.
Philosophical and legal issues are addressed, while conceptual
underpinnings are provided through explanations of appetitive
motivation, incentive sensitization, reward deficiency, and
behavioral economics theories. Major clinical and research methods
are clearly mapped out (e.g. MRI, behavioral economics, interview
assessments, and qualitative approaches), outlining their strengths
and weaknesses, giving the reader the tools needed to guide their
research and practice aims. The etiology of addiction at various
levels of analysis is discussed, including neurobiology, cognition,
groups, culture, and environment, which simultaneously lays out the
foundations and high-level discourse to serve both novice and
expert researchers and clinicians. Importantly, the volume explores
the prevention and treatment of such addictions as alcohol,
tobacco, novel drugs, food, gambling, sex, work, shopping, the
internet, and several seldom-investigated behaviors (e.g. love,
tanning, or exercise).
