[photo: Book Jacket]

Edited by Cecilia A. Essau

Written by an eminent group of international experts, Adolescent Addiction: Epidemiology, Assessment, and Treatment offers the first comprehensive cutting-edge overview of all the major types of addictive problems in young people. This book includes vital information on the prevalence and co-morbidity rates, risk factors to addiction, and prevention and treatment strategies. Unlike other books that may focus on one specific addiction, this book covers a wide range of addictions in adolescents, including alcohol, cannabis, tobacco, eating, gambling, Internet and video games, and sex addiction.

Intended to be of practical use to clinicians treating adolescent addiction, the book contains a wealth of information that will be of use to the researcher as well. A global perspective is offered from international contributors, representing the US, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, and Australia.

Comprehensive with the state-of-the-art information on important and the most common adolescent addiction.

Easy to understand and organized chapters.
