"Here, under one cover is the information needed by alcohol and drug abuse specialists, primary care providers, policymakers, and others who are involved in programs which are geared to help those who abuse or are dependent on alcohol and other drugs to become informed about these problems, including the far-reaching effects of these substances on individuals and on society. I commend both Dr. McCrady and Dr. Epstein for their efforts in presenting such a wealth of material in a clear and concise manner appropriate for a variety of audiences and for having pulled together the talented group of subject-matter experts represented in this book."--Enoch Gordis, M.D., Director, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism |k No
