Summary International in its scope and multidisciplinary in its approach, The International Handbook of Addiction Behaviour gives authoritative coverage of current issues in the addiction field in an easy reference form. It brings together the full variety of scientific approaches to addiction behaviour and provides a sound theoretical grounding to the clinical situation. Written by experts and based on clinical and teaching experience, the Handbook proposes a way forward towards integrated treatment interventions. It covers a wide range of licit and illicit drugs including alcohol, nicotine, heroin and cannabis, and deals with gambling as an example of a non-drug dependence. It discusses many aspects of treatment, training, prevention and policy formation in an international perspective. The International Handbook of Addiction Behaviour breaks new ground by highlighting the links between clinical work, training and research and sets an agenda for a new approach in the addictions field. It will be an invaluable guide for students, trainers and professionals
