5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful contribution to the field of addictions.,
By Samuel Glazer, M.D. (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Substance Abuse: From Principles to Practice (Paperback)
McDowell and Spitz give an incredibly thorough, yet succinct overview of the field of substance abuse. The book is informative, well written, and an interesting read. It will be of great interest to all clinicians who work with substance abuse patients. I personally recommend it to anyone who encounters the problem of addiction, whether it be in a personal or professional realm.

Exceptional,
This review is from: Substance Abuse: From Principles to Practice (Paperback)
Doctors Mc Dowell and Spitz aught to be applauded for their innovative presentation. It should be a permanent fixture in the offices of every therapist as a research guide, and on the bookshelves of patients. It is a wellspring of information for both the layman and the pro. Thank you both.
