Over the last decade the world has experienced a growing interest
in problems associated with the nonmedical use of drugs. This
interest has corresponded to areal growth in the extent, diversity,
and social impact of the use of alcohol and drugs in many
societies. As a result, the amount of research and writing on the
subject of drug problems has greatly increased, and it has become
very difficult for one individual to keep up with all the relevant
literature. There is thus an acute need in the field for critical
reviews that assess current developments, and the present series is
intended to fill this need. The series is not to be an "annual
review" in the usual sense. The aim is not to cover all the work
reported during the preceding year in relation to a fixed selection
of topics. Rather, it is to present each year evaluative papers on
topics in which enough recent progress has been made to alter the
general scope in a particular area. Owing to the multidisciplinary
nature of problems of drug use and dependence, the papers published
in each volume will be drawn from several disciplines. However,
some volumes may be devoted to one partic ular problem, with
individual reviews and papers examining various aspects of it. The
composition of the editorial board and the international advisory
board reflects these objectives. The editors are members of the
senior scientific staff of the Addiction Research Foundation of
Ontario."
