Library Journal
A physician with the Betty Ford Center since it opened in 1982, West based this volume on his newspaper column, adopting a user-friendly, question-and-answer format that makes this basic overview of addictions appealing as well as informative. He explains that his responses "are direct, perhaps at times even abrupt, because that's the way surgeons talk to patients who have some grave disorder, lest there be doubt what should be done." Chapters include straightforward information on how to identify an alcoholic, intervention, effects of substance abuse on the brain and other parts of the body, treatment, prevention, and relapse. An especially useful chapter covers cross addictions and dual disorders. There is also a list of selected treatment organizations. Chapter headings point to the topics covered, but an index would have improved access. Browsing is easy in this practical little book, which may attract more readers because of its conversational style. Recommended for high school and public libraries.-Catherine T.
