Alcohol and Tobacco: Medical and Sociological Aspects of Use, Abuse and Addiction

Lesch, Otto-Michael; Walter, Henriette; Wetschka, Christian; Hesselbrock, Michie N.; Hesselbrock, Victor; Pombo, Samuel

This updated and revised second edition of “Alcohol and Tobacco” reflects the new ICD 11 and DSM V classifications and provides comprehensive descriptions of new therapeutic approaches, outlining the different interactions between personality, environment and the effects of the respective substance.

In addition to new data on prevention-based therapies, especially for smoking addiction, the book also presents essential psychological and sociological strategies, and medication-based therapies. Particular attention is given to new medications and new compounds for e-cigarettes, while a broad overview of the American and European epidemiology of alcohol and nicotine addictions rounds out the coverage.

Given the breadth and depth of its coverage, the book will appeal to a wide readership, from professionals to researchers and students.
