Addiction is a very common psychiatric disorder and brain disease that is a leading root cause of injuries, multisystem organ diseases, and premature death. Addiction strikes at the neural engine of human power: the brain system that governs and adapts our motivation that transforms our thoughts, memories, and feelings into behavioral actions. Addiction psychiatry is the oldest field within psychiatry or medicine in which physicians are formally trained as experts in the neuroscience, diagnosis, and treatment of addiction. It also remains as the only field where physicians are formally trained and board certified in both mental health and addictionology. Still, addiction psychiatry is quite young, being started in 1991, which speaks to how innovative and rapidly developing our field is with respect to the broader history of psychiatric neuroscience and therapeutics. Addiction psychiatry overlaps with but is distinct from addiction medicine, which was developed into a formal training fellowship in 2016 and is open to nonpsychiatrists who typically aim to incorporate their work in addictionology into other medical specialties such as primary care or emergency medicine. But as this book reveals, addiction is a psychiatric disorder that is tightly interconnected with mental illness on neurobiological, clinical, and epidemiological levels. Additionally, addiction is optimally treated by an integration of psychotherapeutic and medication management strategies, which psychiatrists, among all physicians, are best trained to deliver. So, across the landscape of health care, addiction psychiatrists are the best prepared among all physicians to treat this devastating brain disease and its many complex comorbidities with mental illness. Introduction to Addiction Psychiatry aims to efficiently inform the healthcare professional or scientist-in-training with the fundamental concepts of our field, highlighting what is unique and powerful about it scientifically and clinically under the larger addictionology umbrella. There are many large-volume addiction or addiction medicine textbooks already available that serve as excellent reference books for professionals who have already chosen to enter some area of addictionology. However, these volumes are often quite expensive, physically heavy, and written as encyclopedic amalgamations of clinical and pharmacological facts compiled by a dozen or more authors writing chapters separately from one another. They typically are not focused on or dedicated to explaining the science and practice of addiction psychiatry, and they are not necessarily practical for young clinicians and scientists who have yet to decide about their career directions. So, this book is designed to address these gaps, working much more as an internally coherent, concept-oriented, illustrated introduction to the field that can attract and engage learners across many medical/psychiatric and scientific disciplines. The two authors of Introduction to Addiction Psychiatry – one a seasoned addiction psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and fellowship director (Chambers), and the other (Masterson) a general psychiatry resident and addiction psychiatry fellow at the time of his contributions to the book – have drawn from their collective experience spanning 25 years in teaching addiction psychiatry. The audiences that helped us write this book include undergraduates, nursing students, social workers, legal professionals, medical students, residents, neuroscience graduate students, postdocs, and addiction psychiatry fellows. From this experience, we have attempted to build this book like a “greatest hits album” of our most impactful and compelling lessons, concepts, and figures, providing a rapid and yet unforgettable initiation to the translational neuroscience and practice of addiction psychiatry. As such, the book can readily be used to accompany short lecture series on addiction psychiatry for a broad scope of professional and scientific learners, especially those that may be engaged in other courses, or busy clinical or scientific rotations.
