Today, alcohol and other drug abuse scientists have access to a broad array of clinical resources that integrate a commonsensical approach to addiction treatment with science. Addictions: A Comprehensive Guidebook is a superb example of one such resource. Here, in one volume, is both practical and scholarly information for alcohol and drug abuse specialists, primary care providers, clinicians, policy-makers, and others involved in programs that are geared to help those who abuse or are dependent on alcohol and other drugs. Its scope is a testament to how far drug abuse scientists and practitioners have come in defining what they do and to how they are able to do it effectively through a growing body of scientific behavioral research. Addictions is organized into seven parts that range from the prevalence of certain addictions to their identification and treatment to the social effects of these addictions. In fact, this volume contains nearly all of the basic information a professional or graduate student needs to learn about or treat substance abuse.

Barbara S. McCrady and Elizabeth E. Epstein are both at Rutgers University.
"Here, under one cover is the information needed by alcohol and drug abuse specialists, primary care providers, policymakers, and others who are involved in programs which are geared to help those who abuse or are dependent on alcohol and other drugs to become informed about these problems,
including the far-reaching effects of these substances on individuals and on society. I commend both Dr. McCrady and Dr. Epstein for their efforts in presenting such a wealth of material in a clear and concise manner appropriate for a variety of audiences and for having pulled together the talented
group of subject-matter experts represented in this book."--Enoch Gordis, M.D., Director, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
"This book represents a comprehensive sourcebook for diverse practitioners within the field of addictions. The editors succeed admirably in their goal of integrating research findings and clinical data in a field notable for a paucity of such integrative approaches." -- Doody's
