Publisher Description: "Addiction Reimagined: Challenging Views of an Enduring Social Problem" outlines the current issues in the field of substance use and addiction by thoroughly analyzing its history and other concerns such as diagnosis, treatment, and prevention measures, or the effect of addiction on the family and its connection to the criminal justice system. In this work, Professor Steverson calls for a reimagining of our past and current understandings of addiction and its role as a social, rather than a medical, problem. "Addiction Reimagined" provides a macro-level (i.e. sociological) approach to the examination of the processes and treatment modalities of addiction. |
