It is intended for researchers, addiction specialists, psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacologists, social workers, drug counselors, and trainees as well as healthcare workers who deal with patients with addictions in their clinical practices.” (Michael Easton, Doody’s Review Service, December, 2012)
