Recenzii

This new volume provides a very welcome and much needed compilation of key articles and reviews on various aspects of drug abuse. It includes a very useful introductory section outlining the basic principles in pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenomics and the subsequent chapters delve further into these principles for various classes of drugs of abuse. The information is clearly laid out and is complemented with a section on detection and treatment of drug and alcohol abuse. Recent controversies and debates on key aspects of drug abuse this handbook will stimulate the reader into considering further innovative aspects in this field.  This handbook will prove to be a very reference textbook for toxicology students and a key addition to medical and health care science libraries.  

At times of crisis, we observe an increase in the severity of drugs and alcohol related problems and a rise in gambling and internet addiction. The SAGE Handbook of Drug & Alcohol Studies Volume 2 comes at the right time to deepen our understanding of addiction aetiology and new forms that affect every area of personal and family life. The Handbook raises awareness of treatment options for successful recovery and for fighting stigma in today’s turbulent environment. This Handbook is a valuable tool for academics, researchers, students and professionals who strive to transform evidence based knowledge into successful practice.

Descriere

This handbook explores the biological basis of drug and alcohol use, considering a wide scope of topics from the scientific determination of substance misuse, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, mechanisms of intoxication, overdose and death; as well as new approaches and controversies such as new types of addictions, decriminalisation, cultural influences and new information on neurobiology.
