Determinants of Addiction
"The textbook by Yates presents a nice arrangement and presentation of the different levels of analysis used to define the important field of addiction, including biological, psychological and sociological views. Each chapter is a self-contained contribution on a different topic, each with an introductory thought, learning objectives and a self-test of progress. Students will like this organization. In addition, faculty will like the scholarly coverage of each topic that contains an extraordinary number of classic and recent citations. This is excellent contribution that will meet the need of courses offered in psychology, neuroscience and health science." -- Dr. Michael T. Bardo, Department of Psychology, University of Kentucky "One of the most comprehensive textbooks available for understanding drug-seeking, drug-taking, and substance use disorders. What we know at several levels – molecular, neural, behavioral, sociocultural – is concisely summarized in ways that students will find approachable and compelling.In Yates’ text, students will find answers to their common questions (e.g., why are some people more likely to misuse drugs than others) and will find new questions to motivate their continued search for the determinants of human addiction." -- Gregory J. Madden, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, Utah State University
