Recenzje

"This book is very technical and not geared to the average reader. It reviews the increased understanding of biological underpinnings of addiction and how, in some individuals, neurocircuitry is affected by psychostimulants, leading to their pathological use. Those who are involved or interested in the neurobiological underpinnings of addiction will find this a useful data update. These scientific understandings are also important for clinicians in the field to create a paradigm shift in their understanding of what drives these diseases." --Doody
