Summary

A comprehensive source of pharmacological and medical information drug abuse, this acclaimed text has been thoroughly revised and updated. Two new chapters have been added, one on cocaine, the other on nicotine and tobacco. Detailed, well-organized and authoritative, this text emphasizes important similarities and differences among patterns of drug use, and offers a clear and critical survey of a wide range of experimental and clinical studies. All major drugs of abuse are covered. The medical diagnosis and pharmacological management of drug abuse are considered, and the book concludes with a discussion of legal aspects.
