Clinical Manual of Addiction Psychopharmacology

Over the past several years, the world has faced a series of unprecedented
challenges-public health crises, climate change, racial and socioeconomic
tensions-that have intensified the ongoing epidemic of substance use and
overdose. The Clinical Manual of Addiction Psychopharmacology, now in its third
edition, asserts that substance misuse and addictive disorders, although complex
in origin, are inherently treatable.

This new edition is rich in
information and practical guidance tailored to today's addiction psychiatry and
addiction medicine workforce. The volume is organized by substance class-such as
nicotine and tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, opioids, stimulants, and
hallucinogens-offering quick access to essential information. Expert
contributors synthesize the latest scientific advancements in how these
substances affect those who misuse them, as well as the psychopharmacological
and neurobiological bases for available treatments.

This updated edition
also features four new chapters: Treatment of Substance Use Disorders: An
examination of the pharmacotherapy of addictive disorders through a broader
system-based and social lens Behavioral Addictions: An exploration of emerging
treatments for non-substance-related addictive disorders such as gambling
disorder Integrative Approaches to Addiction Treatment: A comprehensive review
of treatment literature on nonstandard pharmacotherapies, including herbal
supplements Circuit-Based Interventions for Substance Use Disorders: A
description of interventional approaches that include transcranial magnetic
stimulation and deep brain stimulation

Other chapters have been updated
to reflect the changing social and clinical landscape in which clinicians
practice. Additionally, epidemiological review has been intentionally minimized
throughout the manual to allow readers to focus on the state of research and
clinical treatment recommendations.

The Clinical Manual of Addiction
Psychopharmacology, Third Edition, is a foundational, accessible resource for
all those who seek to support the clinical needs of their patients and
communities.
