Addictive Behaviors: Readings on Etiology, Prevention, and Treatment

The destructive power of addictions manifests itself in ill health effects, social and family problems, and economic and legal troubles. Psychologists' role within this arena include researching the effects of drug action, studying the epidemiology and etiology of drug and alcohol abuse, developing and evaluating prevention and treatment programmes, and studying the effects of drug policies on human behaviour. This extensive collection of reprinted articles from American Psychological Association journals provides an insightful view of psychological research on addictive behaviours.

Review "In this edited, extensive, and comprehensive book, contributors from a multiplicity of psychological orientations provide a detailed consideration of widespread and burgeoning literature on addictive behaviour. The editors offer a broad selection of psychological articles on addictive behaviours in which relevant issues of dependency and addictive behaviours are highlighted. This helps to mitigate the problems of treating many areas in a cursory fashion…It is a luscious, pluralistic, scholarly book that deserves to be used as a core text at a time when attempts are being made to redefine addiction and addictive behaviour. The book is invaluable for health professionals who wish to examine the implications of different levels of explanations on addictive behaviours." —British Journal of Medical Psychology (1999), 72, 589–594
