Over the past 3 decades, experimental research on the\nneurobiology and psychology of drug addiction has generated a torrent of exciting data, from the molecular up to the behavioral levels. As a result, a new and pressing challenge for addiction research is to formulate a synthetic theoretical framework that goes well beyond mere scientific eclectism to deepen our understanding of drug addiction and to foster our capacity to prevent and to cure drug addiction.\n\nIntrigued by the apparent irrational behavior of drug addicts, researchers from a wide range of scientific\ndisciplines have formulated a plethora of theoretical schemes over the years to understand addiction.\nHowever, most of these theories and models are qualitative in nature and are formulated using terms that are often ill-defined. As a result, the empirical validity of these models has been difficult to test rigorously, which has served to generate more controversy than clarity. In this context, as in other scientific fields, mathematical and computational modeling should contribute to the development of more testable and rigorous models of addiction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-10-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461407508\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-0751-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 342\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50297852657804,"sku":"9781461407508","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461407508.jpg?v=1779939850","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461407508","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
