Description: "Alcoholism and addictions are difficult to recognize early, and treatment is often complicated by psychiatric or medical illness, the presence or lack of support systems, and negative social attitudes. By categorizing key areas fraught with pitfalls and misconceptions, analyzing real-life case studies, and drawing conclusions, this book will help those practicing or interested in taking up addiction psychiatry to avoid mistakes and keep up-to-date with the latest methods and innovations in treatment."--Jacket.
