Content
This classic text provides a comprehensive, accessible overview of substance misuse and dependence with an emphasis on practical and evidence-based approaches to the assessment, management and prevention of a wide range of drug-related problems, in a variety of clinical and social settings. The book includes definitions of terms, and describes the effects and clinical characteristics of all substances of misuse. The theoretical background to these topics is clearly explained. For the fourth edition, every chapter has been revised to include the most up-to-date information, with the latest international data on the extent of the world drug problem. There is detailed emphasis on harm minimization, AIDS and hepatitis C and entirely new coverage of tobacco addiction and its management. This is an essential guide for all healthcare workers, health policy specialists, counselors and those seeking to train in areas related to addiction and substance misuse. • Describes a comprehensive range of approaches to managing drug-related problems including detoxification, psychotherapeutic, psychological and medical interventions • Contains the most up-to-date epidemiological data on the global drug problem and international drug control policies • Provides practical guidance and tools for the assessment of drug-related problems including a comprehensive substance abuse questionnaire Contents Preface; Introduction; 1.

Reviews ‘… when it comes to applying the evidence of the real-life clinical situations that face a psychiatrist working with people who use illegal drugs, this book reaches the parts that a systematic review-driven approach cannot always reach …’ British Journal of Psychiatry ‘… every psychiatrist should have access to a copy for reference.’ Journal of Psychosomatic Research ‘… well researched, thorough and logically ordered.’ Drug and Alcohol Review ‘Not only does it provide a comprehensive overview of the subject but it is also written in a clear, lucid style that communicates easily with broad readership. Professor Ghodse’s text will remain a comprehensive guide and essential reading for a new generation of professionals working in the field of addictions.’ Psychological Medicine

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages.
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages.
