Addiction and the DSM-V

The journal Addiction has just released a special issue: Diagnostic Issues In Substance Use Disorders: Refining the Research Agenda--Guest editors: John B. Saunders and Marc A. Schuckit

The issue addresses diagnostic issues/controversies such as the impact of neurobiology, the impact of culture, the DSM vs. the ICD, co-occurring disorders, addiction subtypes, and non-substance "addictions." Lots of fun for addiction geeks!

Any DF staff should let me know if you would like reprints of any of the articles.
