Substance and Behavioral Addictions: Concept, Causes, and Cures presents the etiology, assessment, prevention and cessation of substance (tobacco, alcohol, other drugs, and food) and behavioral (gambling, internet, love, sex, shopping, work, and exercise) addictions. The text provides a novel and integrative appetitive motivation framework of addiction, while acknowledging and referencing multi-level influences on addiction, such as neurobiological, cognitive, and micro- and macro-social/physical environmental. Each chapter is introduced with a case example and includes thorough, detailed learning objectives. The book discusses concurrent and substitute addiction, and offers prevention and treatment solutions, which are presented from a more integrative perspective than traditional treatment options. This is an ideal text for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, practitioners, and researchers seeking an introduction to cutting edge research and practice in the addictions field, encompassing neuroscience information and global coverage, with a focus towards the addictive process.
