Críticas

"This definitive, timely book broadens the understanding of methamphetamine addiction and its treatment with in-depth coverage of such diverse topics as epidemiology, neuropharmacology, psychiatric consequences, psychosocial interventions, and pharmacological interventions. Grounded in research data and clinical experience, the book will be of immense value to practitioners, researchers, and students."--Arnold M. Washton, PhD, Executive Director, Recovery Options, New York, New York, and Princeton, New Jersey

"The field has clearly been lacking a comprehensive reference like this one. Contributors include foremost experts, who offer up-to-date, authoritative presentations. This information should be widely disseminated among treatment professionals as we confront this grave addiction that affects so many Americans."--Thomas R. Kosten, MD, Jay H. Waggoner Chair and Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience, Baylor College of Medicine

"This skillfully crafted volume belongs in the library of every addictions professional. Among the book's unique contributions is the way it addresses methamphetamine at multiple levels of analysis, from cellular effects and community impacts to best practices in treatment and prevention. It also goes a long way in correcting popular misconceptions. Given its coherence and breadth, this book is well suited to be a supplemental text in graduate-level courses on addictions. Students will benefit greatly from the integrated coverage of biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors in methamphetamine addiction and its treatment."--Meredith Hanson, DSW, Professor and Director, Doctoral Program in Social Work, Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service

Reseña del editor

Separating myth from fact, this authoritative work reviews the breadth of current knowledge about methamphetamine addiction and describes the most promising available treatment approaches. Leading experts present state-of-the-art information on the effects of methamphetamine on the brain, body, mental health, and behavior. Psychosocial and pharmacological treatment strategies are critically evaluated, including approaches to treating dually diagnosed clients. Written in a concise, accessible style, the volume emphasizes that recovery is possible, despite the significant challenges the drug poses. The authors identify key avenues for collaboration among clinical, public health, and other professionals.
