by Oscar Gary Bukstein
Adolescent Substance Abuse offers readers a timely, in-depth review of all that is presently known about the causes, treatment, and prevention of substance abuse in adolescents. A valuable resource for clinicians and researchers alike, the book critically evaluates most theoretical models of drug abuse and abusers, and explores a wide range of issues concerning contributing biological factors. It covers classification, diagnosis, and assessment; epidemiology and risk factors; family and environmental variables; intervention strategies, prevention programs, and more. A comprehensive review of our current understanding of the causes and cures of adolescent substance abuse, and a rigorous, research-based guide to its clinical assessment, treatment, and prevention, Adolescent Substance Abuse is an indispensable resource for clinical and developmental psychologists, psychiatrists, drug counselors, social workers, and all mental health professionals who work with adolescents.
