Addictive Behaviors: New Readings on Etiology, Prevention, and Treatment
For individuals in the U.S. & U.S. territories
Since the successful predecessor of this volume was first published, a new generation of research has become available on addictive behaviors such as drinking, smoking, and other substance use. The articles in this collection, reprinted from American Psychological Association journals, describe a wide range of biological, psychological, and social approaches to researching and treating addictive behaviors.
The effects of addictive behaviors range from ill health and social and family problems to economic and legal troubles. Psychologists' roles in mediating the negative effects of addiction include researching the effects of drug action, studying the epidemiology and etiology of drug and alcohol abuse, designing prevention programs, understanding the trajectory of substance abuse and family risk factors, screening and assessment, finding the best models of treatment, and understanding the needs of specific populations.
The latest approaches to all of these tasks are showcased in this volume, which will be of interest to clinical health psychologists and other mental health professionals from graduate students to seasoned clinicians and researchers.

G. Alan Marlatt, PhD, is professor of psychology at the University of Washington, and director of the Addictive Behaviors Research Center at that institution. He received his PhD in clinical psychology from Indiana University in 1968. After serving on the faculties of the University of British Columbia (1968–1969) and the University of Wisconsin—Madison (1969–1972), he joined the University of Washington faculty in the fall of 1972. His major focus in both research and clinical work is the field of addictive behaviors.
In addition to more than 200 journal articles and book chapters, he has published several books in the addictions field, including Relapse Prevention, Assessment of Addictive Behaviors, Harm Reduction, and Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS): A Harm Reduction Approach. Over the course of the past 30 years, he has received continuous funding for his research from a variety of agencies, including the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the Alcoholic Beverage Medical Research Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
In 1990, Dr. Marlatt was awarded the Jellinek Memorial Award for outstanding contributions to knowledge in the field of alcohol studies, in 2001 he was given the Innovators in Combating Substance Abuse Award by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and in 2004 he received the Distinguished Researcher Award from the Research Society on Alcoholism.
Katie Witkiewitz, PhD, is a research scientist at the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute (ADAI), University of Washington, Seattle.

She then took a faculty position in the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois—Chicago as an assistant professor in psychology until July 2007, when she joined the ADAI staff.
Her primary research interests include quantitative methods, latent variable modeling, nonlinear dynamical systems, computer modeling of treatment system case management for chronic alcohol abusers, analysis of clinical treatment outcomes and relapse, mindfulness-based treatments for alcohol and drug abuse, and harm reduction approaches to the treatment of addiction.
