( Appropriate for undergraduate-level courses in Drug Ab...)
Appropriate for undergraduate-level courses in Drug Abuse, Society and Behavior, Psychopharmacology, and Behavioral Pharmacology. This thorough, non-judgmental overview of drug dependence approaches the subject from biological, psychological, and social perspectives. It introduces the reader to a wide-range of drugs, used both medically and non-medically, and discusses the origins, effects, medical uses, and especially the history of each drug. Emphasized is the understanding of how various factors contribute to drug use and dependence, problems arising from use and abuse, and treatment. To reflect a contemporary study of drugs, all information is uniquely organized according to the general principles underlying drug use rather than by different types of drugs.
