Given its complexity, drug use demands a multidisciplinary approach from many different perspectives, but despite the vast literature about the topic, the majority of the books are restricted either to a purely medical perspective (focused mainly on treatment techniques) or to a criminological perspective (focused mainly on drug trafficking and organized crime).  \u003c\/p\u003eThe social approach adopted in this volume challenges this dichotomy and analyzes both the social contexts to which drug use is related and the social and political consequences of the attitudes and policies adopted by governments and other social groups towards drug users, addressing topics such as: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrugs and      poverty \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDrugs and gender\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDrugs and race\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDrugs and territory\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eStigmatization of drug      use\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eProhibitionism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiven its broad and innovative approach, Drugs and Social Context - Social Perspectives on the Use of Alcohol and Other Drugs will be of interest for researchers, clinicians and other health professionals, since the study of the social aspects of drug use is central to everyone who deals with the issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-02-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319724454\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-72446-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 114\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44334482620556,"sku":"9783319724454","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319724454.jpg?v=1776020045","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319724454","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
