Kenneth J. Sher, Ph.D., is Curators' Distinguished Professor of Psychological Sciences at the University of Missouri. His primary areas of research focus on etiological processes in the development of alcohol dependence, factors that affect the course of drinking and alcohol use disorders throughout adulthood, longitudinal research methodology, psychiatric comorbidity, and nosology. At the University of Missouri he has directed the predoctoral and postdoctoral training program in alcohol studies, and his research has been continually funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism for more than 30 years. His current work is focused on attempting to define the "core" of addiction and developing methods to improve the diagnosis of alcohol use disorders.

"This two-volume set covers a multitude of topics of import to clinicians, clinical scientists, and educators guiding the next generation into careers that will inevitably interface with substance use issues. Each chapter written by world-renowned experts can seemingly stand on its own as an in-depth review of a particular domain within substance use research and treatment. While detailed and comprehensive, these chapters are written to ensure accessibility toreaders approaching the books from diverse backgrounds and perspectives...highly recommended for anyone seeking a better understanding of the latest findings in addiction science." --PsycCRITIQUES
