Two new chapters broaden the scope of the volume with coverage of prevention models and comorbidity.

Introduction to Addictive Behaviors: 3rd Edition Avis

'This book provides a wealth of information to help students and professionals in the field of addictive behaviors. The author offers an excellent overview of theoretical models of addictive behavior, approaches to prevention and treatment, comorbidity, and issues related to the family and the social/cultural context. New material on motivation enhancement and harm reduction are also included. I highly recommend this valuable resource for all therapists and clinical students in training.' - G. Alan Marlatt, PhD, Addictive Behaviors Research Center and Department of Psychology, University of Washington

'Thombs has built upon an already fine text. Each chapter masterfully presents important concepts related to addictive behaviors, while reviewing classic and current research that relates to the material. The book covers a full range of topics related to alcohol and other drug use, including theories of addiction, models of treatment, and, in this new edition, a very solid overview of prevention concepts and approaches. Students and professionals in social work, counseling, psychology, criminal justice, and public health will benefit from this volume.' - John D. Clapp, PhD, School of Social Work and Center for AOD Studies and Services, San Diego State University
