'The A-Z of Substance Misuse and Drug Addiction is a clearly presented text that covers a comprehensive range of essential subject areas. I would recommend it highly as a core text for all professionals and students working with addiction.' - Kirsten Amis, counselling lecturer and manager of counselling service at Glasgow Clyde College, Scotland "One might not expect a dictionary of this type to be lively, but McKeganey defines 70 words related to substance abuse in a manner that is concise and engaging." - Choice
