内容简介 "Addiction Treatment" covers the biological, psychological, and social aspects of alcoholism, eating disorders, compulsive gambling, and other addictions. First-person narratives about the experience of addiction provide you a realism and depth of study not commonly found in textbooks. In addition, you will study topics that interest you, such as the case against so-called underage drinking laws, to show you the importance of reducing the harm of any addictive behavior.

编辑推荐 Review "The author writes in an organized and logical way making the material very accessible and understandable for students…I have and will continue to use this textbook for courses that I teach at both college and university levels."
"I have used this text for more than three years and have had dozens of students tell me that it forever changed the way that they interact with their clients. Others have taken research based concepts to their agencies, resulting in policy and practice change that has enhanced client success. Transformation of the field is what this text is about. It is what I have been waiting for."
