About Clinical Manual Of Addiction
Product Description Psychopharmacology is a swiftly evolving field, with new drugs coming onto the market and existing drugs being approved for new treatments at a rapid pace. This new edition of Clinical Manual of Addiction Psychopharmacology offers current information on the pharmacology of the major classes of drugs related to addiction, as well as the latest pharmacological treatment of dependence on these drugs. Advances have been made in the treatment of opioid, alcohol, and tobacco dependence, in particular, and these chapters have been thoroughly updated. In addition, the manual reflects recent research findings and evidence-based perspectives on the pharmacological actions of other drugs of abuse. The editors have adopted a therapeutic focus that will prove indispensable to clinicians challenged to identify effective pharmacotherapy treatments for their patients with substance use disorders. For example, the importance of identifying co-occurring medical problems and psychiatric syndromes is emphasized to avoid undermining the therapeutic effects of treatment, and the efficacy of combining nonpharmacological treatment, such as psychotherapy, is also explored. Prescribing clinicians, social workers, and other mental health practitioners will find Clinical Manual of Addiction Psychopharmacology invaluable in their work with individuals with substance-related disorders. Review Kranzler, Ciraulo and Zindel s incredibly thorough, yet compact clinical manual of addiction pharmacology is a must for physicians and other providers who treat individuals with addictive disorders. Covering a wide range of topics from alcohol use disorders, prescription drug abuse, and synthetic cannabinoid agonists, to name a few, the guide is clearly written and well organized. The manual provides clear synopses of scientific studies for pharmacologic treatments, including the latest on pharmacogenetics, while offering practical advice for clinicians. This manual would serve as an excellent teaching tool for residents in advanced training for Addiction Psychiatry and/or American Board of Addiction Medicine fellowships. Overall, this manual offers much to both experienced professionals and those beginning a career in addiction medicine. --Ismene L.
