CiNii Books - Psychology of alcohol and other drugs : a research perspective

Psychology of Alcohol and Other Drugs encourages the reader to become a critical consumer rather than a docile recipient of research information in this field, much of it interpreted in a highly dubious, and frequently political manner. The author offers a psychological perspective in his coverage of alcohol and drug-related issues, focusing in depth on key topics. He: * examines the contribution of research methodology to outcomes * offers alternative explanations to alcohol and drug-related issues * considers causal relationships in substance abuse * discusses alcohol and drug abuse in different groups defined by gender, age race, marital status and * includes Danish and Swedish studies of hereditary and environmental influences
