Sommario/riassunto

Over recent years the study of addiction has moved from being a fragmented and under-developed area of science to become a forefront subject with its own identity. This book describes that fascinating process of evolution through a series of probing face-to-face interviews with the international scientists and other actors in the field who helped make the process happen.    * Unique in-depth interviews with 30 influential figures who have shaped modern addiction science.  * Ten commentaries from leading contemporary experts interpret this material by section.  * Recent history as base for future research planning and policy development
