Addiction Controversies (PDF Book)
By Jane Doe
In the past, studies on drug use have primarily focused on drugs such as heroin and cocaine, using them as prototypes to draw comparisons between various substances. However, Addiction Controversies takes a different approach by analyzing both similarities and dissimilarities. The initial chapters delve into the evolution of modern medical attitudes towards drug use, as well as the current controversy over the decriminalization of drugs. The subsequent chapters explore the extent to which drugs share common biological and sociological mechanisms, and contrasts these explanations. Lastly, the book considers the biological and social explanations of relapse and examines the extent to which the desire for different substances are alike. Addiction Controversies offers a unique perspective challenging current thinking and providing a comprehensive comparative approach that clinicians, researchers and students in all areas of substance use will appreciate.
