The Neurobiology of Addiction: A New Perspective: Clinician's Manual (Clinical Innovators) - Softcover

Dr. Carlton Erickson, director of the Addiction Science Research and Education Center at the University of Texas, writes not only a "brain science 101" text, but helps explain how developments in neurobiology call for basic changes in the very ways that addiction professionals discuss, define, and treat chemical dependence. In an easy-to-understand language, Dr. Erickson renders the complex neuroscience of dependence in a clear and refreshing approach to facilitate understanding and use in treatment and recovery.
