More DescriptionThis extensively updated and revised second edition brings together leading clinicians and researchers to present the latest approaches to diagnosing and treating a wide range of substance-related problems. Practical and comprehensive, the volume incorporates major developments in our understanding of the biological mechanisms of addiction. It also describes important refinements to treatment methodologies, including new treatments for dual diagnosis.
