description Reviews the book, The science of addiction by Carlton K. Erickson (2007). This book is designed for health care professionals caring for patients with drug and alcohol problems. The author writes from the perspective of a scientist aiming to increase communication between research investigators and clinical treatment professionals. His main thesis is that chemical dependence is a chronic, relapsing medical brain disease and that those with this disease should have a variety of treatment options made available to them. He builds his case to increase awareness of and resources for chemical dependence treatment through comparisons with other, less stigmatized physical diseases. This book is an informative resource for both clinicians and investigators of chemical dependence and a welcome addition to the library of professionals who want to understand this difficult syndrome fully.
