Perspectives on Person-Environment Interaction and Drug-Taking Behavior

By Bernard Segal

First published in 1987, Perspectives on Person-Environment Interaction and Drug-Taking Behavior provides a comprehensive overview of the interactionist approach from both a theoretical and applied perspective. Divided into five chapters, it deals with themes like psychosocial interactionism and substance use; social sanctions, self-referent responses, and the continuation of substance abuse; the interaction of child and environment in the early development of drug involvement; reconceptualization of person- environment interactions; and the disease theory of alcoholism from an interactionist perspective. This book is a must read for scholars and researchers of addiction studies, applied psychology and psychology in general.
