Drug Use and Abuse 7th Edition

Written by Stephen Maisto, the 7th Edition of Drug Use and Abuse offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination of current drug issues. Published by Cengage Learning on January 1, 2014, this authoritative resource skillfully integrates psychological, historical, cultural, social, biological, and medical perspectives to provide a holistic understanding.

A central and powerfully emphasized theme throughout the book is the idea that a drug’s effects depend not only on its intrinsic properties, but also significantly on the biological and psychological characteristics of its user. This crucial concept is consistently highlighted across the text, prominently featured in discussions of individual classes of drugs, as well as in dedicated chapters exploring pharmacology and psychopharmacology.
