Resource Type

Book

Description

"In the last 25 years, cocaine addiction has been established as a chronic relapsing brain disease. Research on the abuse of this drug should be based on complex constructs of genetic, environmental, and psychosocial factors that require multiple levels of research. This volume examines the field of drug abuse research from multidisciplinary perspectives including biological and behavioral models. It also seeks to define challenges for the future, such as determining sex differences in the sociology and physiology of addiction."-- Description from the publisher or distributor
