Drugs in Perspective: Causes, Assessment, Family, Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment

Drugs in Perspective is a compilation of useful reports, case studies, and literature on drugs and alcohol―their use, abuse, and addiction. Backed by more than 30 years of clinical experience with clients, Dr. Richard Fields provides a comprehensive framework to understand substance abuse. The 9th edition includes ample case studies, up-to-date information on treatment and recovery, and a new chapter dedicated to relapse, prevention, and mindfulness. The Connect course for this offering includes SmartBook, an adaptive reading and study experience which guides students to master, recall, and apply key concepts while providing automatically-graded assessments.

Instructors and students can now access their course content through the Connect digital learning platform by purchasing either standalone Connect access or a bundle of print and Connect access. McGraw-Hill Connect® is a subscription-based learning service accessible online through your personal computer or tablet. Choose this option if your instructor will require Connect to be used in the course. Your subscription to Connect includes the following:

• SmartBook® - an adaptive digital version of the course textbook that personalizes your reading experience based on how well you are learning the content.
• Access to your instructor’s homework assignments, quizzes, syllabus, notes, reminders, and other important files for the course.
• Progress dashboards that quickly show how you are performing on your assignments and tips for improvement.
• The option to purchase (for a small fee) a print version of the book. This binder-ready, loose-leaf version includes free shipping.
