Description
This authoritative work comprehensively examines all aspects of addictive disorders and their treatment. Leading researchers and practitioners identify best practices in assessment and diagnosis and provide tools for working with users of specific substances. Issues in working with particular populations--including polysubstance abusers, culturally diverse patients, women, and older adults--are addressed, and widely used psychosocial and pharmacological treatment approaches are reviewed. An indispensable text for anyone studying or treating these prevalent, challenging disorders, the book describes ways to tailor interventions to each patient's needs while delivering compassionate, evidence-based care.
Reviews / Votes
"Beyond covering the basics that readers expect from an addiction text - pharmacology of specific substances and major treatment modalities - the editors also address a breadth of other topics, including polydrug use, comorbidities, HIV/AIDS, and the needs of women and older adults." - Joyce A. Tinsley, Department of Psychiatry, University of Connecticut, USA"This is an ideal text for providing students with a broad overview of the field as well as specific guidelines for clinical practice. Practitioners will find it a handy reference for state-of-the-art conceptualizations and treatments for the full range of substance use disorders." - Arnold M. Washton, in private practice, New York, New York, and Princeton, New Jersey, USA
