Originally published in 1980, this book presents a detailed account
of a series of investigations that examined the patterns of resort
to drugs and alcohol use in college youth, and how such substance
uses are linked to personality characteristics and daydreaming
patterns. The Editors chose to emphasize the more "private"
features of the personality, because these had often been ignored
in earlier research, despite popular assumptions that there are
close ties between fantasy, inwardness, "spacey" qualities (all
suggesting permanent changes in mental organization), and substance
use in youth. This volume will be of interest to a wider audience
than just drug and alcohol researchers, because of the effort to go
beyond normative patterns of substance use toward explorations of
personality and consciousness.
First published in 1988, Alcoholism Etiology and Treatment provides
a stimulating discussion concerning an understanding of the
etiology and treatment of alcoholism. Divided into five chapters,
it brings themes like the disease concept of alcoholism;
interdisciplinary biobehavioral research on alcohol problems;
sociocultural and organizational bases of support for alcohol
treatment; genetic predisposition to alcoholism; and
anthropological perspectives on prevention and intervention, to
provide a forum for discussion of some of the issues that prevail
in the field of alcoholism. This book is an essential read for
students and scholars of addiction studies, psychology, sociology,
and behavioural studies.
First published in 1987, Perspectives on Person-Environment
Interaction and Drug-Taking Behavior provides a comprehensive
overview of the interactionist approach from both a theoretical and
applied perspective. Divided into five chapters, it deals with
themes like psychosocial interactionism and substance use; social
sanctions, self-referent responses, and the continuation of
substance abuse; the interaction of child and environment in the
early development of drug involvement; reconceptualization of
person- environment interactions; and the disease theory of
alcoholism from an interactionist perspective. This book is a must
read for scholars and researchers of addiction studies, applied
psychology and psychology in general.
First published in 1991, Homelessness and Drinking conveys
multitude of information about a homeless drinking population in
Anchorage, Alaska. The data presented were obtained from day-to-day
observations of individuals using a Sleep-Off Center. Bernard Segal
discusses themes like descriptive analysis of clients using the
sleep-off centre; analysis of drinking and drug-taking behaviour
among homeless; intervention and treatment of the homeless
alcoholic; and assessment of treatment outcome, to showcase that
when people become homeless and attached to alcohol, it then
becomes extremely difficult to separate the drinker from alcohol.
This book is an essential read for students and scholars of
addiction studies, psychology, sociology, and behavioural studies.
Be a better researcher when studying drug abuse among minorities!
Conducting Drug Abuse Research with Minority Populations: Advances
and Issues brings you the voices of drug abuse researchers who
discuss the most important concerns about conducting research in
drug-taking minority populations. In this strategy-based book,
you'll find yourself beneficially involved in a discussion of many
of the central methodological advances facing researchers today,
specifically in the target area of minority communities and their
drug-using societies. Conducting Drug Abuse Research with Minority
Populations presents crucial recommendations and strategies that
will lead you toward unprecedented effectiveness and efficiency
when researching this subsection of the world's drug users. In

research process, and you'll come to more fully understand the
impact of cultural values, attitudes, and norms in the drug-taking
patterns of minority persons. With this book, you will learn more
about: the importance of advisory boards, gatekeepers, and
indigenous workers in this type of research the crucial role of
incentives in recruiting and retaining minority persons in drug
abuse studies focus groups as tools to minimize selection bias of
minority subjects how cultural values may affect research
strategies how research teams can facilitate the collection of data
within minority communities Researchers, college educators, and

Discover fresh perspectives on alcoholism treatment and research
with this enlightening new book describing the work of researchers
at the Novosibirsk Medical Institute, USSR. By using specific
examples of their studies in Siberia, the reserachers offer an
innovative approach to the treatment of addictive disorders in
general. Instead of focusing on the drinking behavior itself, the
treatment focuses on the relation of the problem to the interaction
of economic, social, and psychological factors. To address the
question of whether alcoholics should all be treated in the same
way, or if alcholism treatment should be more individualized in
approach, chapters are devoted to the differences between
alcoholism in women, adolescents, and alchoholics who are afflicted
with "rapid development of alcholism syndrome." The research
examples in Addictive Disorders in Arctic Climates benefits
professionals involved in the treatment of alcholism by introducing
new perspectives and broadening contemporary research.

Use this valuable knowledge about drug-taking behavior to plan
strategies to prevent or reduce drug-taking among youth. The
findings from this unique study have important implications for
researchers, educators, practitioners, and local and state
policymakers and planners for the development of initiatives for
addressing smoking, drinking, and drug use among early adolescents
and teenagers. The purpose of this informative volume is to further
understand drug-taking behavior among adolescents by providing
information on the prevalence, correlates, and consequences of
drug-taking behavior among a large sample of adolescents. Although
the focus is on Alaska, the findings generalize to comparably aged
youth in general; moreover, comparisons with findings from national
studies and other states provide interesting results.
This is a new release of the original 1925 edition.
