Determinants of Substance Abuse
Author: Mark Galizio
language: en
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Release Date: 1985-04-30
With the recent increase in the scope of drug and alcohol problems has come an awareness of the need for solutions. As data accumulates, it is becoming more apparent that substance abuse problems are extremely complex and are influenced by a variety of biological, psychological, and environmental variables. Unfortunately, it has proved difficult to go beyond this conclusion to a description of how these multiple factors work together to influence the development of, and recovery from, drug and alcohol dependence. The purpose of this book is to try to meet that objective by including in one volume theoretical analyses from a wide variety of drug researchers. In each case, the author was asked to consider how the variables in their particular domain might contribute to the appearance of individual differences in both alcohol and drug related problems. The resulting volume is a valuable source for those wishing to take a more interdisciplinary approach to substance abuse issues. -- from Preface.

With the recent increase in the scope of drug and alcohol problems has come an awareness of the need for solutions. In this context, federal support for research on drug problems increased tremendously during the last 10 to 15 years with the establishment of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). Funding from these and other sources has led to a substantial increase in the quantity and quality ofpublished work related to substance abuse. As data accumulate, it is becoming more apparent that substance abuse problems are extremely complex and are influenced by a variety ofbiological psychological, and environmental variables. Un fortunately it has proved difficult to go beyond this conclusion to a de scription of how these multiple factors work tagether to influence the development of, and recovery from, drug and alcohol dependence. The purpose of this book is to try to meet that objective by including, in one volume, Iiterature reviews and theoretical analyses from a wide variety of drug researchers. We chose the authors in an attempt to assure that each of the various Ievels of analysis appropriate to the substance abuse problems would be included. In each case, the author was asked to consider how the variables in is or her particular domain might con tribute to the appearance of individual differences in both alcohol and drug problems.
