Overview

Psychiatrists in the US summarize the current knowledge of using drugs to fight drugs, noting that the US Food and Drug Administration has approved pharmacotherapy only for addiction to nicotine, opioids, and alcohol. In addition to these, they consider sedative-hypnotics, cannabis, cocaine and psychostimulants, hallucinogens and phencyclidine, club drugs, and inhalants. A final chapter provides an overview of the approach. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Editorial Reviews

3 Stars from Doody

Reviewer: Michael Schrift, DO (University of Washington School of Medicine)
Description: The increased understanding of the neurobiological basis of drug abuse and dependence over the past two decades has the potential to substantially improve diagnosis and treatment strategies. Also, this understanding has given an impetus to develop new pharmacologic interventions. This manual covers the current pharmacologic treatments and ideas for future interventions in addiction psychiatry. This multiauthored book, written and edited by internationally recognized clinician-researchers, is an extremely useful guide and information resource for the clinician treating addiction disorders.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide "substantial insights into the pharmacology of the various abused substances...provide a basis for medications development, as well as an improved understanding of the etiology and pathophysiology of these disorders."
Audience: The editors intend their work as "an essential guide for clinical and social work." They include among their audience "prescribing clinicians, psychiatric educators and their students, and other mental health practitioners."
Features: Each of the 10 chapters covers a single category of drug/substance, including a chapter on psychotherapy and pharmacology of substances use disorders. Topics include alcohol, opioids, sedative-hypnotics, cannabis, cocaine and stimulants, hallucinogens and phencyclidine, club drugs, inhalants, and tobacco. The chapters are well written and scholarly with up-to-date and helpful references to the literature. The index makes the book very user-friendly.
Assessment: This is an excellent new and concise book on the psychopharmacology of addictive disorders. All physicians and mental health professionals should be familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of substance-related disorders and this book is a helpful guide to that goal.

Doody's Review Service

This manual certainly "delivers the goods." With this grander goal, the 400 pages seem not so lengthy after all, and the articles referenced certainly lay the foundation for a more in-depth approach. The book is easy to read, informative, and comprehensive, despite its smaller sized format. No one book ever has the answers to all my questions, but this manual does an excellent job and makes a nice companion to Galanter and Klbers's more exhaustive APPI Textbook of Substance Abuse and Treatment
