There is a softcover edition of this book. Now in an extensively revised and updated second edition, this comprehensive clinical resource and text is grounded in cutting-edge knowledge about the biopsychosocial processes involved in addictive behaviors. Presented are research-based, eminently practical strategies for assessing the treatment needs and ongoing clinical outcomes of individuals who have problems with substance use and nonchemical addictions. Procedures for assessment of specific behaviors are coupled with tools for evaluating each person's coping skills, readiness to change, and risk factors for relapse. Thoroughly rewritten chapters on alcohol, tobacco, cocaine, opiates, cannabis, and eating disorders have been augmented with new coverage of amphetamines, "club drugs," gambling problems, risky sexual practices, and sexual offending. Another important new chapter addresses cultural issues in assessment of diverse clients.

"The second edition of Assessment of Addictive Behaviors provides cogent and comprehensive coverage of what is now known to be essential in our understanding and treatment of addiction, namely, assessment of the biological, psychological, and sociocultural contributors to the addictive process. The text offers an integrated biopsychosocial orientation that is as sensitive to the latest areas of 'nontraditional' addiction (e.g., gambling and sexually risky behaviors) as it is to ethnocultural issues. Practitioners, upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, and researchers will find this text to be an invaluable resource in their quest to understand and evaluate the complexities of addictive processes."-Peter M. Monti, PhD, Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies, Brown University
"A 'must have' for practitioners and clinical researchers in the addictions. Besides providing state-of-the-art reviews, the second edition broadens the range of addictive behaviors to include nonchemical addictive behaviors. Each chapter is self-contained, making the volume easy to read and allowing the material to be well integrated. This second edition is an outstanding accomplishment, and much needed in a field that has seen major changes over the last two decades."-Mark B. Sobell, PhD, Center for Psychological Studies, Nova Southeastern University
