    • Rethinking Substance Abuse : What the Science Shows, And What We Should Do About It, Hardcover by Miller, William R. (EDT); Carroll, Kathleen M. (EDT), ISBN 1572302313, ISBN-13 9781572302310, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US

      For researchers, practitioners, and undergraduate and graduate students, Miller (psychology and psychiatry, U. of New Mexico) and Carroll (psychiatry, Yale U. School of Medicine) assemble 18 essays based on summaries of research findings presented at a conference held in New Mexico in 2004 (Conference on Approaches for Combating the Troublesome Use of Substances). Essays focus on the treatment and prevention of substance abuse, and science-based principles rather than practice, and each presents a set of principles in conclusion. They omit scientific citation and brand-name treatments, and address biological, psychological, and social factors and interventions through behavioral therapy, pharmacotherapy, religion and spirituality. In the final chapter, the editors pull together ten recommendations for intervention. Essays are by contributors in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, neuropharmacology, research, and social work who are based in the US. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
