"A well informed and highly informative compendium on cocaine theory, research, and treatment....Achieves broad coverage of the science of cocaine. The editors take the reader on a well-planned and informative tour of cocaine research....Coverage of [these] novel...more speculative areas helps to set this text apart from earlier books on cocaine....[provides] the reader with an understanding of the historical significance, current applications, and future implications of the scientific findings...Perhaps one of the greatest teaching strengths of this work is its ability to serve as a template for systematic research development in other scientific areas....Scholarly in its breadth and depth of coverage....An outstanding contribution to the field of substance abuse and is likely to become a standard reference text for both clinicians and scientists involved in cocaine research and treatment." --Contemporary Psychology
"Redundancy is unavoidable in any multiauthored book, but it is minimal in this volume. The material from basic research and relevant clinical data is well-organized. The state-of-the-art knowledge is derived from data from direct clinical research on cocaine addiction rather than from the extrapolation of opinions and dogma from some related alchoholism literature. This book is recommended as a textbook on cocaine addiction for psychiatrists who work mostly with chemically addicted patients and as an authoirative source book for general psychiatrists who may from time to time seek a quick reference on cocaine addiction. After reading this book, the clinician can better understand or handle his or her next cocaine-addicted patient more competently and comfortably." --American Journal of Psychiatry
"Today, the field is too vast and complex for one person to keep on top of all the developments. It would take an entire institution to accurately and competently represent the current state of knowledge on cociane addiction. Thankfully, there is such a place: the Yale Substance Abuse Research Center. In Clinician's Guide to Cocaine Addiction they tell all.Kosten and Kleber have provided the best that is available today for successful treatment."--Journal of Psychoactive Drugs . Detail
