This] volume provides a unique and advantageous perspective to the
trainees and practitioners in the adolescent substance abuse field.
It offers a sophisticated perspective on addiction treatment
techniques developed in recent years, with a sensitivity to the
social and developmental needs of the adolescent.' Marc Galanter,
from the Foreword.
Learn more effective treatments for adolescents with abuse
substance disorder Dual diagnosis of adolescent substance use
disorders and comorbid psychiatric disorders must be treated
simultaneously to be effective. Adolescent Substance Abuse:
Psychiatric Comorbidity and High Risk Behaviors presents leading
experts offering insightful viewpoints and dynamic suggestions on
how to best provide simultaneous treatment and integrated services
to these youths. The book covers the state of the art in the field
of substance use disorders, and reviews different psychiatric
disorders and high risk behaviors, and then addresses the issue of
integrated services and ethical, legal, and policy issues
pertaining to this population. In the field of adolescent substance
abuse treatment, dual diagnosis is the rule rather than the
exception, making assessment and treatment complicated. Adolescent
Substance Abuse: Psychiatric Comorbidity and High Risk Behaviors
comprehensively discusses the magnitude, etiology, and
characteristics of problems and substance abuse disorders (SUD),
and extensively explains ways to assess, treat, and develop
services for adolescents. This unique text closely examines the
assessment and treatment of psychiatric comorbid disorders among
adolescents such as depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, and high
risk behaviors including suicidal behavior, self-harm behavior, and
gambling behavior. The text is extensively referenced and several
chapters include helpful tables and figures to clearly display the
data. Topics examined in Adolescent Substance Abuse: Psychiatric
Comorbidity and High Risk Behaviors include: etiology of adolescent
substance abuse assessment treatment planning psychosocial
interventions pharmacological interventions disruptive behavior
disorders attention deficit hyperactivity disorder depression
bi-polar mood disorder anxiety disorders trauma and post traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) suicidal and self-harm behaviors
schizophrenia eating disorder gambling behavior Adolescent
Substance Abuse: Psychiatric Comorbidity and High Risk Behaviors is
an invaluable resource for mental health professionals,
pediatricians, family physicians, nurses, addictions specialists,
counselors, educators, students, and drug court professionals who
provide assessment and treatment for youths with substance use
disorders.

This long-awaited follow-up to the classic text Clinical Manual of
Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment presents the latest research
on substance use and substance use disorders (SUDs) in adolescents
12-18 and emerging adults 18-25 years of age. This new manual
offers a substantive update of the previous manual's 16 chapters,
offering 7 additional chapters devoted to important new topics,
such as pediatric primary care assessment and intervention,
electronic tools, specific substances (e.g., cannabis, opioids,
alcohol), and much more. Psychiatrists, psychologists, social
workers, and substance abuse specialists, as well as applied
researchers and public health professionals, will find this new
manual a research-rich and clinically compelling resource for
understanding disease course, prevention, diagnosis,
substance-specific interventions, co-occurring disorders, and
issues related to special populations. The strengths of this text,
edited by two of the foremost experts on addiction among youth, are
many: * Because youth are not simply "miniature adults," the book
uses a developmentally informed approach to understand the onset of
substance use and the trajectory to SUD and behavioral addictive
disorders.* An extensive section of the book is devoted to
epidemiology, diagnosis, and interventions for specific substances
of abuse, including alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, and opioids. The
full range of interventions are described for each, including
pharmacotherapy, cognitive-behavior therapy, motivational
enhancement, and psychosocial strategies.* An introduction on the
nature of the association between co-occurring disorders is
followed by chapters on internalizing disorders (such as
depression), suicidal behavior, psychotic disorders, externalizing
disorders (such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity), and behavioral
addictions * Special chapters are devoted to the management of
youth with SUDs in the juvenile justice system and the
consequences, for the child, of maternal substance use during
pregnancy. Advances in research and clinical strategies make both
topics timely. * Three appendixes complete the book. The first
offers resources for screening and assessment tools, the second
provides a select list of websites for parents who are seeking
advice and resources about drug prevention and intervention, and
the third lists websites containing general information about
self-help, including how to find local AA or NA meetings. Emerging
research on developmental psychopathology and adolescent
development has implications for how we view current prevention,
intervention, and treatment paradigms, and Clinical Manual of Youth
Addictive Disorders is indispensable in helping the reader
understand and implement effective strategies for these patients
and their families.
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.

This comprehensive issue on Substance Abuse in youth begins with
articles on epidemiological trends, genetic risk factors,
neurobiology of substance use disorders, and race and gender
associations, and then provides detailed reviews on prevention and
various treatment methodologies.? Treatments discussed include
individual and group interventions (motivational interviewing and
cognitive behavioral therapy), contingency reinforcement,
multidimentional family therapy, pharmacotherapy, and
post-treatment aftercare.? Also reviewed in detail are substance
use disorders and psychiatric comorbidity.? The issue then takes a
close look at two emerging areas of concern in youth: gambling and
internet occupation, and energy drink use. By all accounts, a
must-read issue for psychiatrists everywhere.
