A Special Issue of Substance Use & Misuse on Recovery
Edited by Alexandre Laudet
Alexandre Laudet, PhD, Director of The Center for the Study of Addictions and Recovery at NDRI, has edited a special issue of Substance Use & Misuse (SUM) entirely devoted to the topic of recovery. This double issue of SUM is the first instance of a scientific publication devoting an entire issue to this important yet under-investigated topic.“In seeking papers for this special issue, the goal was to cover a broad range of perspectives and disciplines with emphasis on works that are less frequently represented in scientific journals such as this one. To that end, I sought to include work conducted outside the United States and representing non-Western perspectives, studies bearing on various populations …), disciplines other than research (e.g., ethics and policy), and studies using qualitative as well as quantitative methods. The works included in this volume speak to addiction recovery issues in the United States, Italy, Russia, Australia, and New Zealand … to the Native perspective in North America; they describe not only state of the art research on various treatment modalities and other recovery resources but also policy and the impact of policy on recovery opportunities and the ethical aspects of discourse on recovery.”
