Críticas:

 "This is more than just an update of the classic reference. In this edition, addictive disorders have been placed in a context reflecting their expression in the real world. Thus, polydrug use, psychiatric comorbidity, and 'behavioral addictions,' such as pathological gambling, are now emphasized. Moreover, issues related to addiction across populations (e.g., ethnic groups, gender, and children/adolescents) are now addressed. The result is a volume that will be useful for professionals in social services, health care, and public policy, as well as advanced students training for these professions."―Thomas H. Brandon, PhD, University of South Florida and H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute

"I have been looking forward to the new edition of this useful teaching tool. Beyond covering the basics that readers expect from an addiction text―pharmacology of specific substances and major treatment modalities―the editors also address a breadth of other topics, including polydrug use, comorbidities, HIV/AIDS, and the needs of women and older adults. The comprehensiveness and readability of this text promise to make it a favorite among clinical educators, medical students, and residents."―Joyce A. Tinsley, MD, University of Connecticut; Executive Director, American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training

Overall, the Clinical Textbook of Addictive Disorders is an excellent text for both health-care workers and researchers. It provides current and relevant information that is interestung and enjoyable to read. - Kylie Bailey, University of Newcastle, Australia, in Drug & Alcohol Review March 2006

Reseña del editor:

This authoritative work comprehensively examines all aspects of addictive disorders and their treatment. Leading researchers and practitioners identify best practices in assessment and diagnosis and provide tools for working with users of specific substances. Issues in working with particular populations--including polysubstance abusers, culturally diverse patients, women, and older adults--are addressed, and widely used psychosocial and pharmacological treatment approaches are reviewed. An indispensable text for anyone studying or treating these prevalent, challenging disorders, the book describes ways to tailor interventions to each patient’s needs while delivering compassionate, evidence-based care.
