5.0 out of 5 stars Altho a difficult read this is a great teaching text, July 5, 1998
By 
JFrank1954@aol.com (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drugs and Society (Paperback)
This text provides informative and up to date information regarding a broad range of drug related topic. Althought the reading level is not easy, the information is extremely useful for drug counselors. The information presented regarding psychopharmacology provides an excellent base of preparation for the certification test used in many states. I highly recommend this text as well as many of the web site exercises.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a textbook..., January 27, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Drugs and Society (Paperback)
As good as one can hope for a textbook Delong with drugs and Alphonso. It's a book people should hope their teachers teach with. Easy IMO to my find and very informative. Good, as far as dry textbooks are concerned.
