Drugs, Behaviour, and Society

The Canadian Edition of Hart et al., Drugs, Behaviour, and Society provides an unprecedented opportunity to study the pharmacological, clinical, and social effects of psychoactive drugs and drug use from a Canadian perspective. Over 14 successful editions, the American text by Hart & Ksir, Drugs, Society, and Human Behaviour, has taken a uniquely unbiased and clinically sound approach. The Canadian author team of Hebb, Gilbert, and Black has built on this solid foundation and has incorporated the best in Canadian research, social trends, legal policies and preventative practices, as well as a thorough analysis of the chemical and psychopharmacological content. As the new title suggests, our Canadian edition puts an emphasis on the psychological effects of drugs on an individual’s behaviour and how this in turn affects society.
