Summary
"Now in its sixth edition, Living with Drugs continues to be a well-respected and indispensable overview of drugs and drug taking. Michael Gossop has updated this new edition to take account of the changes in drug use and in social responses to drug problems that have occurred since the previous edition, published in 2000." "Written in an accessible style and providing a balanced perspective, the book is ideal for psychologists, nurses, social workers, and for anyone with an interest in this complex, ever-present and emotive issue."--BOOK JACKET
