Description

DRUG USE AND ABUSE takes an interdisciplinary approach in its coverage of current drug issues. It weaves psychological, historical, cultural, social, biological, and medical perspectives -- emphasizing the idea that a drug's effects depend not only on its properties, but also on the biological and psychological characteristics of its user. This theme is highlighted throughout, and is prominent in discussions of the individual classes of drugs, as well as in the chapters on pharmacology and psychopharmacology. chaPter 1 Drug Use and Abuse chaPter 2 Drug Use: Yesterday and today chaPter 3 Drugs and the Nervous System chaPter 4 Pharmacology chaPter 5 Psychopharmacology and New Drug Development chaPter 6 Cocaine, Amphetamines, and Related Stimulants chaPter 7 Nicotine chaPter 8 Caffeine chaPter 9 Alcohol chaPter 10 opiates chaPter 11 Marijuana chaPter 12 hallucinogens chaPter 13 Psychotherapeutic Medications chaPter 14 other Prescription and over-the-Counter Drugs chaPter 15 treatment of Substance Use Disorders chaPter 16 Prevention of Substance Abuse Glossary references Index
