Description

A thorough and accessible review of the subjective effects of drugs and the dominant theories behind these effects should help inform readers about the experience of intoxication and help researchers learn from studies in other disciplines. This book will provide a clear sense of the theories and techniques behind the investigations of intoxication and how subjective experiences relate to addictive potential, which should help people make educated decision about drug use, help researchers identify ideal ways to assess a drug's subjective effects, and help clinicians understand their substance abusing clients better by providing insight into the intoxication that they seek.

First Sentence

Drugs are highly reinforcing, and under certain conditions drug use can become an organism's dominant response.
