This book offers a concise introduction and overview of major contemporary theories that have been proposed by theorist-clinicians from the fields of biology, psychology, and sociology to help explain the use of the drugs and substances of abuse. Attention is given to the basic assumptions of these theories and the research methods that were used for their development, testing, and evaluation. Specific criteria are included to help addictions counselors select optimal theories for their own clinical use within the context of their clinical practice.
