In both print and online formats, this series provides the most comprehensive compilation of current knowledge on addictive behaviors and disorders to date.

Conceptually, the 3 volumes that make up this series, Principles of Addiction, Biological Research on Addiction, and Interventions for Addictions, cover an extensive range of topics including, but not limited to, the nature of addiction, cravings, co-morbidities, types of addictions, behavioral biology, neuroscience, neuroimaging, genetics, neuropharmacology, psychosocial treatments, addiction medications, application of addiction science to practice, public policy, and prevention. With the growing emphasis on translational research, the goal has been to integrate diverse findings into a meaningful conceptualization of all aspects of use and abuse.
