Translation of Addictions Science Into Practice, 1st Edition

近年对成瘾性从遗传学、神经化学、行为科学和文化支撑层面理解的加深使人们对成瘾作为一种疾病有了更深刻的认知。事实上，对成瘾性在基础科学和新药及行为疗法方面取得的研究进展，其速度远超于临床工作者、研究者及政策制定者对这些内容的消化吸收。如何将这些学术内容转化成更为有效的预防、评价和治疗策略，并传递给临床研究和执业人员对这一领域显得尤为重要。
本书综述了目前和未来潜在的在成瘾性基础科学的进步和临床应用创新方面之间的联系。尽管主旨在于信息的转化，其中也包含了一些便于传播的学术前沿信息，本书也可作为传播创新思维的工具之一。

Recent advances in the understanding of the genetic, neurochemical, behavioral and cultural underpinnings of addiction have led to rapid advances in the understanding of addiction as a disease. In fact, advances in basic science and the development of new pharmacological and behavioral therapies associated with them are appearing faster than can be assimilated not only by clinical researchers but practitioners and policy makers as well. Translation of science-based addictions knowledge into improved prevention, assessment and treatment, and communication of these changes to researchers and practitioners are significant challenges to the field.
The general aim of this book is to summarize current and potential linkages between advances in addiction science and innovations in clinical practice. Whilst this book is primarily focused on translation, it also encompasses some scientific advances that are relevant to dissemination, and the book is itself a tool for disseminating innovative thinking.
The goal is to generate interest in application opportunities from both recent research and theoretical advances.
