Das Handbuch Psychoaktive Substanzen bietet einen fundierten
UEberblick und vereint das aktuelle Grundlagenwissen einer neu
entstehenden Drogenwissenschaft, die psychoaktive Substanzen
mehrdimensional betrachtet, Chancen und Risiken bilanziert und
gegenwartige Debatten mit Fakten fundiert. Das Handbuch ist ein
wichtiges Referenzdokument fur verschiedene Disziplinen und
Professionen; von Medizinern, Psychologen, Suchttherapeuten,
Pharmakologen und Neurowissenschaftlern zu Sozialwissenschaftlern,
(Sozial-)Padagogen, Kriminologen, Juristen und Polizisten. Es ist
ausserdem fur jene Personen von Interesse, die sich mit den
soziokulturellen und historischen Aspekten des Ge- und Missbrauchs
von psychoaktiven Substanzen beschaftigen - einschliesslich
Lehrern, Journalisten und Politikern. Basierend auf einem
interdisziplinaren Ansatz wird in den Kapiteln das komplexe
Wirkungsgefuge zwischen Mensch und psychoaktiven Substanzen
untersucht und in strukturierter und ubersichtlicher Weise
zuganglich gemacht. Aktuelle Entwicklungen wie das Erscheinen neuer
psychoaktiver Substanzen (NPS) sowie die kulturellen und
politischen Veranderungen der letzten Jahre werden ebenfalls
beleuchtet. The Handbook of Psychoactive Substances integrates the
current knowledge base of the evolving field of drug science that
views psychoactive substances from an interdisciplinary
perspective. Opportunities and risks are balanced alongside
objective facts in order to add to current debates. The Handbook is
an important reference document, with relevance to many disciplines
and professions; from medical doctors, psychologists, addiction
therapists, pharmacologists and neuroscientists to criminologists,
police officers, lawyers and attorneys. It will also be of interest
to those involved in the socio-cultural and historical aspects of
drug use and misuse, including teachers, journalists and
politicians. In a helpful structured form the handbook offers
user-friendly and trustworthy information concerning classes of
psychoactive substances. Chapters explore psychoactive drugs as
therapeutic tools, their benefits for medicine and research and the
problems associated with their harmful use. Current developments,
including the recent appearance of Novel Psychoactive Substances
(NPS) and the associated political and cultural changes in recent
years are also explored in the book.
