Preface Thisbookwaswrittenforpracticinghealthandhumanservicesprofession- als with no formal training in substance abuse prevention and treatment, and for undergraduate and graduate courses on addictive behavior. The book has two primary goals. The first is to challenge and strengthen the reader’s understanding of addiction by exploring how others in the field have come to know it. I hope that this will enable the reader to create a clear and logically consistent perspective on addiction. The second goal is toshowthereaderhowtheoryandresearchareimportanttoboththepre- vention and the treatment of substance abuse. This should provide the readerwithanarrayofstrategiesforaddressingsubstanceabuseproblems, and help make him or her an effective practitioner. There are a number of good books currently available on substance abuse and dependence. For the most part, however, these books either are writtenatanadvancedlevelforthesophisticatedpractitionerorresearcher or focus on a limited set of theoretical orientations. The present text is unique in that it attempts to present a comprehensive and thoughtful review of theory and research with the front-line practitioner and student inmind.Exposuretocomplexanddivergenttheoriesofaddictivebehavior has often been neglected in the preparation and training of health and human services professionals, including substance abuse counselors, pre- vention specialists, social workers, psychologists, nurses, and so forth. Some of these practitioners are familiar with one or more of the disease models, but even here they often have not had the opportunity to examine its propositions critically. This book assumes virtually no preexisting knowledge in the biological and behavioral sciences, medicine, or public health.Ineachchapter,acarefulattempthasbeenmadetoexplainthecon- ceptual underpinnings of the theories and approaches described herein, as well as the research supporting these frameworks. ix x Preface The third edition of Introduction to Addictive Behaviors has been revised to appeal to a broader audience of practitioners and students. The primary focus of the first two editions was to provide a multidisciplinary foundation for addiction treatment. The third edition has been revised to include a theoretical and research foundation for substance abuse preven- tion as well. The third edition also includes two new chapters. Each pre- sents cutting-edge knowledge in two very different but important areas in thestudyofaddictivebehavior.Thenewchaptersaretitled“PublicHealth and Prevention Approaches” and “Toward an Understanding of Comor- bidity.” All the chapters from the second edition have been updated and included in the third edition. Specialthanksareinordertothosewhohelpedmecompletethethird edition.IamgratefultoTheGuilfordPress,andespeciallytoJimNageotte and Jane Keislar, for their encouragement and assistance in preparing the third edition. A number of anonymous reviewers provided feedback that also was extremely helpful in steering the direction of the book. DENNIS L. THOMBS University of Florida
