Chapters address disease models of addiction; public health and prevention approaches; dual diagnosis; psychoanalytic, behavioral, cognitive, and family systems models; sociocultural approaches; behavioral addictions, such as gambling; and motivational models. Student-friendly features include illustrative clinical vignettes, end-of-chapter summaries, and review questions.
