This extensively updated and revised second edition brings together leading clinicians and researchers to present the latest approaches to diagnosing and treating a wide range of substance-related problems. Practical and comprehensive, the volume incorporates major developments in our understanding of the biological mechanisms of addiction. It also describes important refinements to treatment methodologies, including new treatments for dual diagnosis. References have been updated throughout, and five completely new chapters address substance abuse among women and minority populations, forensic issues, management in primary care settings, and pharmacological treatment approaches.
