Description
This book presents 13 reviews collected to present the new advances in all areas of addiction research, including knowledge gained from
mapping the human genome, the improved understanding of brain pathways and functions that are stimulated by addictive drugs, experimental
and clinical psychology approaches to addiction and treatment, as well as both ethical considerations and social policy. The book also
includes chapters on the history of addictive substances and some personal narratives of addiction. Introduced by Sir David King, Science
Advisory to the UK Government and head of the Office of Science and Technology, and Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on
Drug Abuse in the USA, the book uniquely covers the full range of disciplines which can provide insight into the future of addiction,
from genetics to the humanities. Written for a scientific audience, it is also applicable to non-specialists as well.
Audience
Academics in biology, medicine and health, the social sciences, as well as practitioners in drug addiction and treatment.
