Summary
"Psychologists are becoming more involved in the etiology, prevention, and treatment of addictive behaviors. Research shows that behavioral habits such as smoking, drinking, and other substance use are associated with a wide variety of problems both for individuals who engage in addictive behaviors and for the larger society in which we live. Addictive behavior problems may appear in a variety of contexts, from harmful health effects and social and family problems to economic and legal difficulties."--p. xi.
