The world has changed dramatically, leading to increases in substance abuse for young and old alike. Drugs in Perspective examines the rapidly mutating field of chemical dependency with an emphasis on family dynamics, the impact of family on individuals, and their use of alcohol/drugs, all within the framework of larger societal challenges. Students will fully explore the dynamics of chemical dependency and the domino effects it can have on a life. The text guides students to develop informed perspectives on the multifaceted aspects and problems associated with alcohol/drug use, abuse, and addiction.

Richard Fields has more than 30 years of first-hand experience performing clinical work with individuals wrestling with substance abuse and their families.

He communicates his experience and research in a way that is comprehensible, approachable, and engaging for students.
