This book offers a one-stop source for classic, new, and emerging research and insights regarding substance and other behavioral addictions internationally. Only the very rare among us are completely unscathed by the effects of addiction - our own, that of a family member, friend, or co-worker. Even the addictions of strangers - from the drunk driver or drug addict, to gambling, food, spending or violence-addicted people - may subject us to dangers, threaten our well-being, and drain money from our pockets. In these volumes, experts from around the world present the newest issues, research, and insights into addictions of all kinds. Led by Angela Browne-Miller, this team of contributors includes scholars and practitioners from countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Thailand, Africa, and Russia. Topics range from drug addiction among male, female, teen and aging populations, and among White, Hispanic, Black, Asian, Native American and other groups, using alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, khat, and/or other lesser known drugs, to behavioral addictions including online gambling, excessive buying, and eating disorders. Chapters also address issues including addiction as a public health problem and the politics of drug treatment policies. Treatment methods for addictions, from electro therapy to holistic approaches are addressed, as are spiritual, psychological, and cross-cultural issues involved. The experts behind these chapters include those from the University of California, Berkeley, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and Purdue University, to McGill University, Nottingham Trent University, and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences.
