Must Read

If you desire to have knowledge of addictive disorders then this book is a must read. Its comprehensive, written well, and packed with useful and extremely practical information. It covers history, diagnosi, disorders, treatment and much much more. Highly recommended if you are to be a well read and effective clinician or just want in depth information from an incredible amount of experts in the field.

Good but far from great

As a standard text this leaves much to be desired. My main concern is that there is too little emphasis on the behavioral and subjective effects of drugs and too much emphasis on neurochemistry and physiology. Also, the selection of topics is somewhat arbitrary -- many important etiological and other issues are ignored -- and the quality of writing is quite uneven. It is a book that every professional needs to own - but it isn't the stand-alone "comprehensive" text that it claims to be.
