The editor and authors of Youth Substance Abuse and Co-occurring
Disorders take an applied approach that serves the needs of
clinicians, clinical researchers, and students in the fields of
mental health, public health, and medicine (pediatrics, family
medicine, and child and adolescent psychiatry, in particular).
While the population of adolescents with SUD possesses diverse
clinical characteristics, 70%–80% manifest comorbid
psychopathology, known also as co-occurring disorders or dual
diagnosis—that is, the presence of one or more comorbid
psychiatric disorders in addition to SUDs. These comorbidities can
greatly complicate assessment and treatment, and this book provides
clinicians with not only the theory behind the various approaches
to SUD but also the practical knowledge that is essential to
understand and treat psychiatric comorbidity in these adolescents.
Some of the most prominent investigators in the field have
contributed scholarly chapters to the volume, which offers a
multitude of useful features: • An extensive examination of the
etiology of SUD, focusing on whether psychopathology may precede
SUD, as in the majority of cases, develop as a consequence of
preexisting SUD, or originate from a common vulnerability •
Consistent emphasis on future directions in clinical research and
treatment advancement, which helps the reader identify critical
gaps in understanding the relationship between SUD and psychiatric
comorbidity among youth • Thorough, state-of-the art chapters on
the developmental pathways and relationships between substance use
and co-occurring psychiatric disorders, screening tools and
interventions, and the full range of co-occurring disorders make
the book ideal for instructional use • Information on risk
factors for development of SUD in adolescence, including
psychiatric disorders in childhood such as disruptive behavior
disorders, mood, anxiety disorders, etc. Clinically useful and
scientifically rigorous, Youth Substance Abuse and Co-occurring
Disorders should stimulate further discussion and advancement of
the field, ultimately resulting in improved and more effective
services and intervention modalities for these youth.
