    Best Textbook of it’s Kind Out There!

    I’m a faculty member in the Psychology Dept of a mid-level public university and I changed to this textbook from another I was using last year. I am thrilled with the level of detail provided, the psychopharm material and the recent nature of the information. I have decided I will also use it for my graduate course as well. The material lends itself well to instructor-tailoring as there is so much from which to select. Given that I am the undergrad addiction program coordinator at our facility I requested all instructors consider a change to this text. The only drawback is that the test bank is not compatible with Blackboard, only Moodle. Our tech staff sent the test bank all the way up to the Bb administrators for higher ed and they provided us with a response of incompatibility. Given that I wrote my own test questions last semester this no longer poses a problem for me.

    The most comprehensive coverage of drugs: anthropolgically, pharmacologically and treatment wise

    I cannot say enough about this book. In an age when designer drugs are the rage, this book is a must have reference text for addiction counselors. It provides thorough, accurate and up to date coverage of drugs, addictions (including process) and treatment.
