Title: The social psychology of drug abuse
Description: This concise and comprehensive overview unravels the complexities surrounding the definition, cause, and treatment of drug abuse. The authors sets out the different classes of drugs of abuse, distinguishes use from abuse, and considers whether or not drug abuse should be seen as a disease. They go on to examine other compulsive behaviours, such as eating disorders and pathological gambling, for their similarities and differences from drug abuse, and detail current methods of assessing drug abuse.
