استرس و اعتیاد: مکانیسم‌های بیولوژیکی و روان‌شناختی

Stress is one of the most commonly reported precipitants of drug use and is considered the number one cause of relapse to drug abuse. For the past several decades, there have been a number of significant advances in research focusing on the neurobiological and psychosocial aspects of stress and addiction; along with this growth came the recognition of the importance of understanding the interaction of biological and psychosocial factors that influence risk for initiation and maintenance of addictive behaviors. Recent research has started to specifically focus on understanding the nature of how stress contributes to addiction - this research has influenced the way we think about addiction and its etiological factors and has produced exciting possibilities for developing effective intervention strategies; to date there has been no available book to integrate this literature. This highly focused work integrates and consolidates available knowledge to provide a resource for researchers and practitioners and for trainees in multiple fields. It will help neuroscientists, social scientists, and mental health providers in addressing the role of stress in addictive behaviors; the volume is also useful as a reference book for those conducting research in this field. * Integrates theoretical and practical issues related to stress and addiction* Includes case studies illustrating where an emotional state and addictive behavior represent a prominent feature of the clinical presentation* Cross-disciplinary coverage with contributions by by scientists and practitioners from multiple fields, including psychology, neuroscience, neurobiology, and medicine Stress is one of the most commonly reported precipitants of drug use and is considered the number one cause of relapse to drug abuse. For the past several decades, there have been a number of significant advances in research focusing on the neurobiological and psychosocial aspects of stress and addiction. Along with this growth came the recognition of the importance of understanding the interaction of biological and psychosocial factors that influence risk for initiation and maintenance of addictive behaviors. Recent research has started to specifically focus on understanding the mechanisms of stress and how it contributes to addictive tendencies. This growing interest has influenced the way we think about addiction and its etiological factors and has produced exciting possibilities for developing effective intervention strategies.Stress and Addiction: Biological and Psychological Mechanisms is a highly focused work that integrates and consolidates available knowledge to provide a resource for researchers, practitioners, and trainees across multiple disciplines such as neuroscience, social science, and psychology. This volume not only addresses the role of stress in addictive behaviors, but will also serve as a key reference for those conducting research in this field.From the Foreword by George F. Koob, Scripps Research Institute: "The present treatise provides a broad and in depth perspective of the many domains by which stress and addiction may intersect. Compiled by leaders of the field and representing a translational approach, the book provides a much needed resource for research already completed and a resource that will stimulate new research in the field. Given the burgeoning interest in novel treatments for drug addiction, the information in the present work also provides new conceptualizations and novel frameworks for the aspects of the addiction process clearly driven by a dysregulated stress system."
