I read this for my intro to addictions counseling class for a counseling minor and thought the book did a great job explaining concepts to a beginner in the field and it was easy to read too!

Very superficial, selectively cites sources to fit its claims, fails to list all cited sources in the list of references. Not worth the ridiculous prices.
