A robust revision, including many entirely new chapters addressing
policy, the latest treatment approaches, and special topics, the
Sixth Edition of The American Psychiatric Association Publishing
Textbook of Substance Use Disorder Treatment offers a comprehensive
and compelling review of this ever-evolving field. New sections
address important topics that have gained prominence or become the
focus of increased research attention since the Fifth Edition was
released. For example, substance use and other psychiatric
disorders often co-occur, and the resulting dual disorder is
frequently associated with greater symptom severity and worse
long-term prognosis than either disorder alone. Accordingly, the
section on psychiatric comorbidity covers the epidemiology,
assessment, and treatment of substance use disorders (SUDs) that
co-occur with psychotic, mood, anxiety, eating,
attention-deficit/hyperactivity, or trauma-related disorders. The
section devoted to special populations has been revamped, and the
topics have been thoroughly updated, some now covered by new
contributors and others completely new to this edition. SUDs among
women (including perinatal issues), adolescents, patients with
chronic pain, sexual and gender minority populations, and older
adults are addressed in detailed chapters, as are behavioral
addictive disorders and cross-cultural aspects of substance-related
and addictive disorders. Finally, the editors have included a
section devoted to critically important topics in public health,
including the U.S. opioid epidemic, cannabis policy and use,
HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C, nicotine and public health, and the
prevention of SUDs. New or noteworthy coverage includes the
following: • A chapter devoted to the legal and practical aspects
of addiction in the occupational sphere, designed for clinicians
who treat people with SUDs and/or develop workplace testing
programs, employee assistance programs, and occupational
drug/alcohol policies for these workers. • A chapter that surveys
the growing literature supporting the use of mindfulness, exercise,
and other "mind and body" practices (e.g., yoga, acupuncture, tai
chi) as complements or alternatives to standard SUD treatment
models. • A chapter devoted to hallucinogens, which clarifies
their actions, psychoactive effects, historical uses, potential
therapeutic benefits, and neural mechanisms, and both identifies
their risks and seeks to dispel some of the misconceptions that
have continued to surround them. • A suite of chapters devoted to
cannabis, encompassing a review of its neurobiology and history, a
survey of effective treatment approaches and harm-reduction
strategies for cannabis use disorder, and a consideration of
evolving public policy around cannabis use. • A trio of chapters
devoted to nicotine and tobacco, encompassing a review of
neurobiology, a survey of clinical assessment tools, a summary of
the research base for effective treatments for tobacco use
disorder, and a consideration of public health policy and
interventions regarding tobacco use. Evidence-based, down to earth,
and meticulously edited, the new Sixth Edition of The American
Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Substance Use
Disorder Treatment is an essential resource for clinicians who
treat SUDs in a variety of settings—from examining rooms to
emergency departments, and from hospitals to recovery facilities.
This state-of-the-science reference and text has given thousands of
practitioners and students a strong foundation in understanding and
treating addictive disorders. Leading experts address the
neurobiology of addictions and review best practices in assessment
and diagnosis. Specific substances of abuse are examined in detail,
with attention to real-world clinical considerations. Issues in
working with particular populations--including polysubstance
abusers, culturally diverse patients, older adults, chronic pain
sufferers, and others--are explored. Chapters summarize the
theoretical and empirical underpinnings of widely used psychosocial
and pharmacological treatments and clearly describe clinical
techniques. New to This Edition *Incorporates a decade's worth of
major advances in research and clinical practice. *Updated for
DSM-5. *Many new authors; extensively revised with the latest
information on specific biological mechanisms, substances,
populations, and treatments. *Chapter on motivational interviewing.
