Abstract:	Like previous editions from 1994 and 1999, this comprehensive third edition reflects the still-growing commitment of psychiatry to addressing the problem of substance abuse. Fully updated and divided into seven main parts, this invaluable textbook offers a depth and scope unparalleled in the literature. The neurobiology of alcohol, opiates/opioids, stimulants, hallucinogens, marijuana, epidemiology of drug dependence, genetics (using the patient's genetic profile to customize treatment), principles of operant conditioning and social learning, and cross-cultural aspects. An overview of available treatments Assessment, patient placement criteria (especially challenging in today's era of managed care), current research with the best empirical support in the treatment of alcohol problems, treatment outcomes (the extent of remission and degrees of improvement over time rather than "cure versus failure"). Treatment and detoxification of specific drugs of abuse alcohol, marijuana, stimulants, hallucinogens, tobacco, sedative-hypnotics, inhalants, steroids, opioids, and drugs from the "club" scene Treatment approaches and much more!
