The joy of this book lies in the hundreds of clinical vignettes that breathe life into the descriptions of contemporary treatment of addictive illnesses. This rapidly evolving field now is about far more than avoiding pitfalls, although that goal remains important. Addiction medicine is about sharing experience, strength, and hope in an area of human experience long characterized as not only incomprehensible but also hopeless. Addiction medicine is also about the integration of the highest levels of biological science into medical practice. This book makes a useful contribution to that humane enterprise. - Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic, Summer 2000
