Addiction

Written as a study resource, this volume approaches addiction in a format suited to classroom use. Readers will find reading lists that point to recent books and periodicals on the subject, along with directories of organizations they can contact for help or further information.

The material is built to encourage independent analysis. Critical thinking exercises and discussion questions prompt readers to weigh the evidence and question assumptions. Drawings, inserts, and cartoons break up the text and add visual context.

A short biographical sketch of the author, Jennifer A. Hurley, is included.
