Description

"This book takes an integrative approach to the understanding of drug use and its relationship to social-cultural factors. It is lucidly and powerfully argued and constitutes a significant achievement. The authors sensibly argue that in order to fully understand and explain drug use and abuse it is necessary to take into account different levels of analysis, reflecting distinct domains of human functioning; the biological, psychosocial, and cultural-historical.Overall, this book represents an exceptional achievement and should be of interest to drug clinicians and researcher as well as social scientists and students."--Professor Tony Ward, University of Melbourne Substance use and abuse are two of the most frequent psychological problems clinicians encounter. Mainstream approaches focus on the biological and psychological factors supporting drug abuse.

Using a multidisciplinary framework, authors Russil Durrant and Jo Thakker explore the cultural and historical variables that contribute to drug use. Integrating biological, psychosocial, and cultural-historical perspectives, this innovative and accessible volume addresses the fundamental question of why drug use is such a ubiquitous feature of human society. Addressing issues important to prevention, treatment, and public policy, the authors includeA comprehensive, historical survey of drug useAn exploration of the evolutionary basis of drug-taking behaviorHistorically and culturally based explanations of drug use and abuseInclusive approaches that complement mainstream biopsychosocial perspectives Designed for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students in
