Substance and Behavioral Addictions: Concepts, Causes, and Cures
presents the concepts, etiology, assessment, prevention, and
cessation of substance (tobacco, alcohol, other drugs, and food)
and behavioral (gambling, Internet, shopping, love, sex, exercise,
and work) addictions. The text provides a novel and integrative
appetitive motivation framework of addiction, while acknowledging
and referencing multi-level influences on addiction, such as
neurobiological, cognitive, and micro-social and
macro-social/physical environmental. The book discusses concurrent
and substitute addiction, and offers prevention and treatment
solutions, which are presented from a more integrative perspective
than traditional presentations. This is an ideal text for
upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, practitioners,
and researchers.
Drug Abuse: Concepts, Prevention, and Cessation serves as a
comprehensive source of information on the topography of, causes
of, and solutions to drug problems. The text covers conceptual
issues regarding definitions of drug use, misuse, abuse, and
dependence. Importantly, the text addresses a variety of
theoretical bases currently applied to the development of
prevention and cessation programs, specific program content from
evidence-based programs, and program processes and modalities.
Information regarding etiology, prevention, and cessation is neatly
delineated into (a) neurobiological, (b) cognitive, (c)
micro-social, and (d) macro-social/physical environmental units.
The book is ideally suited as a primary source for students and
professionals in chemical dependence programs, clinical and health
psychology, public health, preventive medicine, nursing, sociology,
and social work, among other fields, on the nature, causes,
prevention, and cessation of the abuse of legal and illegal drugs.
Written by leaders in the addictions field, 100 authors from six
countries, this handbook is a thoroughly comprehensive resource.
Philosophical and legal issues are addressed, while conceptual
underpinnings are provided through explanations of appetitive
motivation, incentive sensitization, reward deficiency, and
behavioral economics theories. Major clinical and research methods
are clearly mapped out (e.g. MRI, behavioral economics, interview
assessments, and qualitative approaches), outlining their strengths
and weaknesses, giving the reader the tools needed to guide their
research and practice aims. The etiology of addiction at various
levels of analysis is discussed, including neurobiology, cognition,
groups, culture, and environment, which simultaneously lays out the
foundations and high-level discourse to serve both novice and
expert researchers and clinicians. Importantly, the volume explores
the prevention and treatment of such addictions as alcohol,
tobacco, novel drugs, food, gambling, sex, work, shopping, the
internet, and several seldom-investigated behaviors (e.g. love,
tanning, or exercise).
