Addictions

This is a comprehensive yet practical guide for professionals in mental health, covering all addictive substances. The volume is organized into six parts: pharmacology, definitions and diagnosis, etioogy, maintenance, assessment and treatment planning, treatments, and issues in specific populations. In the APA's recently created Division 50, the Division of the Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, McCrady played a key role in a task force which reviewed and established guidelines for the continuing education of clinicians in this new subspecialty.
