Focusing on a hitherto much neglected cohort, this meticulously researched volume, richly illustrated with case examples, is a unique contribution to the field of substance abuse literature. Dr. Robert Youdin sheds light upon the 'hidden epidemic' of psychotropic misuse amongst the baby-boom generation. Generously referencing the physiology and neuroscience of substance habits, he pays welcome attention to the psycho-social-historical roots of the problem and
suggests a humane, evidence-based, harm-reduction approach to its treatment and resolution."
