The intersection of psychiatric disorders and substance use disorder is arguably the most foundational area in the prevention and treatment of addictions. Winters and Ingwalson provide essential coverage of core etiological factors predicting substance use disorders and process addictions. Throughout, there are explanations of the roles of psychiatric disorders, developmental trends, and brain development in the etiology of substance use disorders and process
addictions. Current evidence-based treatment and prevention models for substance use disorders are explored in depth to provide the reader with information on important trends in the intervention and prevention field in addiction. Using foundational coverage of best clinical practices in treatment and
delivery of care, this text fills an essential need in training the next generation of mental health and addiction professionals.
