Concepts of Chemical Dependency (Book Only) 9th Edition
Author: Harold E. Doweiko ID: 1285455134
Review
“This text is a detailed look at chemical dependency from a biological, scientific, social, and humanistic perspective. It will make you question what you thought you knew about the world of addictions, and open the door to the possibility of issues not always considered.”
“I believe that all healthcare professionals should have access to this text as it is the first reference I reach for due to the comprehensive coverage of topics and the reliance I have on the research within that it has been researched and updated.”

This book is so poorly written, my first thought was it must have been a pirated copy written by foreigners who don’t know any English at all. However, I see that others have had the exact same experience. There was absolutely zero money spent on an editor or proofreader; the grammar is deplorable, the content is extremely repetitive, and the organization is unprofessional. If this quality of writing had been turned into any of my professors, it would immediately be graded as failing. How it came to be chosen as a textbook is beyond my comprehension.
The book is excellent. Would not recommend for someone not in the field, as it is more research information than they would be likely to absorb. It is upper level Psychology and not for the sociology or other majors as it is too in depth with the latest research. It is a book a student could use throughout their internships for reference materials because it has all the the treatment models and drugs.
This book is full of typos, sentence fragments, and run-on sentences. I can hardly believe it is a "teacher’s copy"; it would drive any intelligent person crazy.
The material covered is unclear and does not sufficiently explain the material.
