Product Reviews:

Drugs in Perspective ( abgreg95 )
Delivered in excenlent shape.
A good book for those who very little about the subject. Easy to read.

straightforward, with little moralising ( southlandplace )
This updated edition describes all the common addictive substances that are abused in the US. Alcohol and narcotics. There's nothing here in any depth about the biochemistry of addiction. Rather, the typical perspective of a reader might be that of a social worker.

In dispassionate and non-moralising terms, the various drugs are explained. Along with models of addiction that can (or might) be applied to most of the drugs. The symptoms of addiction are made clear. So that you can recognise these in your clients, perhaps. The consequences of addiction are also gone into. The human cost, both to the addict and to those around him.

While many of the drugs are illegal in the US, the book tends to avoid discussion about legalisation. Whether or not you think some drugs might be legalised is largely outside the book's scope.
