This manual covers the current pharmacologic treatments and ideas for future intervention in addiction psychiatry. This multiauthored book, written and edited by internationally recognized clinician-researchers, is an extremely useful guide and information resource for the clinician treating addiction disorders.... This is an excellent new and concise book on the psychopharmacology of addictive disorders. All physicians and mental health professionals should be familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of substance-related disorders and this book is a helpful guide to that goal. - Doody's Book Reviews, December 2005

<p> This manual certainly delivers the goods. With this grander goal, the 400 pages seem not so lengthy after all, and the articles referenced certainly lay the foundation for a more in-depth approach. The book is easy to read, informative, and comprehensive, despite its smaller sized format. No one book ever has the answers to all my questions, but this manual does an excellent job and makes a nice companion to Galanter and Klbers's more exhaustive APPI Textbook of Substance Abuse and Treatment -- Psychosomatics , January-February 2007
