Preface
With the recent increase in the scope of drug and alcohol problems has
come an awareness of the need for solutions. In this context, federal
support for research on drug problems increased tremendously during
the last 10 to 15 years with the establishment of the National Institute
on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism (NIAAA). Funding from these and other sources has led to a
substantial increase in the quantity and quality ofpublished work related
to substance abuse. As data accumulate, it is becoming more apparent
that substance abuse problems are extremely complex and are influenced
by a variety ofbiological psychological, and environmental variables. Un
fortunately it has proved difficult to go beyond this conclusion to a de
scription of how these multiple factors work tagether to influence the
development of, and recovery from, drug and alcohol dependence.
The purpose of this book is to try to meet that objective by including,
in one volume, Iiterature reviews and theoretical analyses from a wide
variety of drug researchers. We chose the authors in an attempt to assure
that each of the various Ievels of analysis appropriate to the substance
abuse problems would be included. In each case, the author was asked
to consider how the variables in is or her particular domain might con
tribute to the appearance of individual differences in both alcohol and
drug problems. The resulting volume should be a valuable source for
seminars at the advanced undergraduate or graduate Ievels or as a ref
erence volume for the substance abuse researcher or clinician who wishes
to take a more interdisciplina1y approach to the problems.
We wish to acknowledge the contributions of Series Editors Robert
T. Brown and Cecil Reynolds, who encouraged us to consider developing
this volume and helped us to shape its tone. We also thank Plenum
Editor Eliot Wem er whose support and patience helped keep the project
together. Part of our work on this volume was supported by Grant #M00100
from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (Maisto),
Grant #8330 from the North Carolina Alcoholism Research Authority, and
