Preface
The Topic
Excessive consumption of drugs and alcohol is associated with
widespreadsocialproblems,andpolicymakersaswellaspractitionersin
thefieldareseekingeffectivemeanstoreducetheimpactonindividuals,
families, and wider society. A vast amount of research has been under-
taken into the underlying and maintaining causes of substance misuse,
and there is considerable evidence to support promising interventions
for related social and psychological problems. However, much national

The Authors
The contributing authors represent expertise from a range of differ-
ent specialisms and perspectives in the substance-misuse field. As such,
different authors may use differing terminology, as does this preface,
referring at times to substance use or misuse, problematic drug or
alcohol use, excessive consumption, or addiction. No attempt has been
Preface
made to homogenize these terms as the differences represent the way
this complex, and sometimes divisive, subject is approached in the
realworld.
