Description

Addictions by Maree Teesson, Wayne Hall and Heather Proudfoot is a comprehensive guide to understanding addiction. This authoritative new edition builds on the success of the previous book, incorporating advances in research and practice over the last ten years. The book explores the nature of addiction, health consequences of alcohol and other drug dependence, theories and causes of addiction, as well as recent research on these topics. The authors also examine the controversy surrounding the possible positive effects of certain substances, such as alcohol and cannabis, and discuss the increased risk of interpersonal violence associated with addiction. This book is a valuable resource for students, professionals, and researchers seeking state-of-the-art information on this rapidly growing field.
