A product of many years' work by researchers at the renowned Yale Substance Abuse Research Center, this volume constitutes a comprehensive resource on cocaine.

The Clinician's Guide covers the history of cocaine research, the pharmacology and phenomenology of the drug, and current treatment approaches for cocaine abuse.
