This book is great for MFT's SW's and anyone in the addiction field even great for parents to have to educate their children about how harmful drugs are and also is a great learning experience!!

Bought it for a class, but found the book to be interesting to read despite being forced to do it, lol. The book is well organized and the information is extremely up to date. There are multiple sources of addiction referenced, from actual drugs to eating and World of Warcraft.
