Alcohol use is complex and multifaceted. Our understanding must be also. Alcohol use, both problematic and not, can be understood at many levels from basic biological systems through to global public health interventions. To provide the multi-level perspective needed to address this complexity, theHandbook of Alcohol Usedraws together an eclectic set of authors, including both researchers and practitioners, to examine the causes, processes and effects of alcohol consumption. Specifically, this book approaches the topic from biological, individual cognition, small group/systems, and domestic/global population perspectives. Each examines alcohol use differently and each offers its own ways to combat problematic behavior. While these alternative viewpoints are sometimes construed as incompatible or antagonistic, the current volume also explores how they can be complimentary. In summary, theHandbook of Alcohol Usebrings together an international group of experts to explore how alcohol use can be understood from various perspectives and how these conceptualizations relate. In doing so, it allows us to understand alcohol consumption, and our responses to it, more from an account which spans from synapse to society'.Explores alcohol use from individual through to societal levelsSynthesizes these varied levels of analysis on alcohol useDraws on an international team of experts including researchers and alcohol treatment practitionersMakes clear the implications of research for practice (and vice versa) | The Handbook Of Alcohol Use by Daniel Frings, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
