DRUG USE AND ABUSE takes an interdisciplinary approach in its coverage of current drug issues. It weaves psychological, historical, cultural, social, biological, and medical perspectives -- emphasizing the idea that a drug's effects depend not only on its properties, but also on the biological and psychological characteristics of its user. This theme is highlighted throughout, and is prominent in discussions of the individual classes of drugs, as well as in the chapters on pharmacology and psychopharmacology.

I had to use this book for a "Drugs and Behavior" Psychology course. I really enjoyed the book. All of the content was clear and easy to read. It gave lots of applicable information. Any time I went to lecture and didn't fully understand what the teacher was lecturing on, I used this book to help clear up the mis-information. It worked really well in filling in the gaps!
Good book full of a lot of really good information on drugs and abuse. Used for a psychology class at WSU but anyone who wishes to learn more this would be a good choice.
It was not the right book that was decribed in the description of the order. Also, I had no way of getting online content from the publisher.
It is a required text for Human Services class. I have enjoyed the information it has provided. Easy reading
Interesting book, and worked very well for the class I needed it for.
AWESOME BOOK!! Very insightful and perfect for the classroom.
Very informative and useful for my course!
