Introduction to Addiction Psychiatry

Given the considerable overlap between the allied fields of Addiction Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine, this book can serve as a useful primer for both fields, albeit through the lens of addiction psychiatry which places more emphasis on 1. the translational neuroscience of addiction i.e., explaining how the brain science of addiction generates clinical-human level phenomena; 2. integrated neurobiology of mental illness and addiction i.e., explaining how mental illness and addiction are interconnected biologically and clinically; and 3. the deployments of integrated treatments e.g. using combinations of both psychotherapies and medications to drive recovery and disease remission--
