Produktinformationen zu „The Oxford Handbook of Adolescent Substance Abuse (PDF)“
Adolescent substance abuse is the nation's #1 public health problem. It originates out of a developmental era where experimentation with the world is increasingly taking place, and where major changes in physical self and social relationships are taking place. These changes cannot be understood by any one discipline nor can they be described by focusing only on the behavioral and social problems of this age period, the characteristics of normal development, or the pharmacology and addictive potential of specific drugs. They require knowledge of the brain's systems of reward and control, genetics, psychopharmacology, personality, child development, psychopathology, family dynamics, peer group relationships, culture, social policy, and more. Drawing on the expertise of the leading researchers in this field, this Handbook provides the most comprehensive summarization of current knowledge about adolescent substance abuse. The Handbook is organized into eight sections covering the literature on the developmental context of this life period, the epidemiology of adolescent use and abuse, similarities and differences in use, addictive potential, and consequences of use for different drugs; etiology and course as characterized at different levels of mechanistic analysis ranging from the genetic and neural to the behavioural and social. Two sections cover the clinical ramifications of abuse, and prevention and intervention strategies to most effectively deal with these problems. The Handbook's last section addresses the role of social policy in framing the problem, in addressing it, and explores its potential role in alleviating it.

Zucker is Professor in Psychiatry and Psychology at the University of Michigan, Director Emeritus of their Addiction Research Center and the Department of Psychiatry's Substance Abuse Section. His career focus has been the lifespan etiology of substance abuse and the development of early identification and intervention programming. He is internationally known for his research contributions to the understanding of alcoholism as a developmental disorder, and has been involved with its translational ramifications via consultancies at NIH and by developing substance abuse research infrastructure in Eastern Europe. He is a Steering Committee member and site PI for NIH's national ABCD study, author of over 300 publications and 11 books, and is recipient of the Research Society on Alcoholism's Distinguished Researcher Award. He is also past-President of the Society on Addiction Psychology. Sandra A. Brown, Vice Chancellor for Research and Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego, is internationally recognized for developmentally focused alcohol and drug research. Her primary research focuses on the impact of alcohol and other drugs on human development, progression of substance involvement, and factors influencing transitions into and out of youth alcohol and drug problems. Her research yielded pioneering information on relapse, long-term outcomes, and effective treatment for youth. She has held numerous scientific leadership positions, with awards from NIH, APA and RSA. She has more than 35 grants and 350 publications and helped lead the national effort to establish screening and early intervention guidelines for youth. She co-directs the National Consortium on Alcohol and Neurodevelopment in Adolescence and Coordinating Center of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study.
