Derevensky, PhD, and Rina Gupta, PhD Index About the Editor and Contributors Series Foreword Tragically, most people across the globe have either struggled with a health- and relationship-damaging addiction or know someone who has. Addictions, broadly defi ned, have touched the lives of the majority of people in multiple cultures and locations. For centuries, numerous people have suff ered with their addictions to alcohol and drugs as well as with other addictions, with often dev- astating outcomes. Sadly, important relationships, jobs and careers, and many lives have been lost due to the destructive power of addiction. Th ese tragedies not only occur for those who suff er from addiction, but for their loved ones, coworkers, and community members, and for innocent victims who are per- haps in the wrong place at the wrong time when an addiction-related accident, crime, or violence occurs. Th e enormous cost of addiction in health care, traffi c accidents, crime, violence, loss of workplace productivity, and broken families is too large to quantify. Th e global spread and success of organizations such as Alcoholics Anonymous (as well as related organizations such as Narcotics Anonymous, Sexoholics Anonymous, and Overeaters Anonymous) is a testa- ment to the numerous people trying to recover from their addictions. Sadly, for every person seeking help for his addiction problem, there are likely to be many more people who never do. Clearly we need help to better understand, evaluate, treat, and cope with those who suff er from addictions. In this remarkable four-volume set, Th e Praeger International Collection on Addictions, Angela Browne-Miller, PhD, DSW, MPH, has assembled an all- star and diverse team of leading experts from across the globe to provide a state-of-the-art understanding of the various facets of addiction.
