Clinical Manual of Addiction Psychopharmacology is a comprehensive guide to the pharmacology of drugs of abuse and the medications used to treat dependence on those substances. This new, second edition provides a thorough update on a broad range of addictive substances, along with enhanced coverage in areas where significant advances have been made since publication of the first edition. Clinicians, including psychiatrists, psychiatric residents and fellows, and other mental health practitioners who encounter individuals with substance-related disorders in the course of their clinical work, will find the manual to be well-organized, exhaustively referenced, and current.
The book is structured for ease of use and completeness of coverage, with an abundance of beneficial features:
Material is presented in a systematic fashion, addressing epidemiology, pharmacology of the abused substance (including pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics), psychopharmacological treatments, and issues of dependence, tolerance, withdrawal, and abstinence. Both basic science and clinical dimensions are addressed, and these different perspectives, including pharmacotherapy and the psychosocial aspects of treatment, are integrated to allow clinicians a more holistic and effective treatment approach. Coverage of the pharmacology of drugs of abuse is thorough and reflects the latest research findings, providing a necessary background for understanding the clinical effects and treatment of dependence on these substances. Coverage of pharmacotherapy for dependence on these drugs is equally comprehensive, with meticulously detailed findings and evidence-based recommendations for the clinical care of patients dependent on a variety of substances. Tables are used strategically to present complex information in a logical and accessible way; for example, the table on management of alcohol withdrawal syndrome includes detailed information on the symptom-triggered approach, fixed dose schedules, and delirium in a condensed, yet easy-to-understand format.
The book is well written and edited for clarity and accuracy by editors and contributors at the forefront of the psychopharmacology of addiction. As new drugs come into the market and old drugs find new applications, clinicians must stay current to provide the best care. Clinical Manual of Addiction Psychopharmacology helps them to do just that, offering both sound science and clinical wisdom to meet the complex challenges of treating individuals with substance-related disorders.

Over the past several years, the world has faced a series of unprecedented challenges—public health crises, climate change, racial and socioeconomic tensions—that have intensified the ongoing epidemic of substance use and overdose. The Clinical Manual of Addiction Psychopharmacology, now in its third edition, asserts that substance misuse and addictive disorders, although complex in origin, are inherently treatable. This new edition is rich in information and practical guidance tailored to today's addiction psychiatry and addiction medicine workforce. The volume is organized by substance class—such as nicotine and tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, opioids, stimulants, and hallucinogens—offering quick access to essential information. Expert contributors synthesize the latest scientific advancements in how these substances affect those who misuse them, as well as the psychopharmacological and neurobiological bases for available treatments. This updated edition also features four new chapters: • Treatment of Substance Use Disorders: An examination of the pharmacotherapy of addictive disorders through a broader system-based and social lens• Behavioral Addictions: An exploration of emerging treatments for non-substance-related addictive disorders such as gambling disorder• Integrative Approaches to Addiction Treatment: A comprehensive review of treatment literature on nonstandard pharmacotherapies, including herbal supplements• Circuit-Based Interventions for Substance Use Disorders: A description of interventional approaches that include transcranial magnetic stimulation and deep brain stimulation Other chapters have been updated to reflect the changing social and clinical landscape in which clinicians practice. Additionally, epidemiological review has been intentionally minimized throughout the manual to allow readers to focus on the state of research and clinical treatment recommendations. The Clinical Manual of Addiction Psychopharmacology, Third Edition, is a foundational, accessible resource for all those who seek to support the clinical needs of their patients and communities. - Häftad, Engelska, 2011

In recent years alcohol abuse has received increased international attention. Such attention is justified by the enormous negative impact that this disorder has on health, as well as on economic and social well-being. Governmental and other sources of research support have promoted substantial investigation into the negative consequences of alcohol, examining both animal models and human subjects. Consequently, there has been a virtual explosion of preclinical and clinical data, much of it focused on alcohol's pharmacologic effects. However, there have been few efforts to integrate this wealth of new information into a single, manageable volume. This volume provides an up-to-date, in-depth treatment of the phar macology of alcohol, particularly as it relates to alcohol abuse. The over riding theme of the book is the interplay between the preclinical and clinical domains. Increasingly, these areas of investigation have served to inform one another, a trend that can be expected to grow with time. The topics covered include the effects of alcohol on biological systems and the impact of medications on those effects. In addition, recent insights obtained from molecular biological investigations are discussed in terms of their relevance for understanding the effects of alcohol at the cellular level and the implica tions of these for the development of medications. Consideration is also given to important methodological issues that influence the evaluation of medications in the context of clinical trials.
