Historical Vocabulary of Addiction includes in one volume all the entries posted on the website of the International Network for History of Neuropsychopharmacology between 2016 and 2022 that have each been re-edited and comprises an updated list of references. The goal of the book is to facilitate a rapprochement of the study of alcohol/drug use disorders, non-drug or behavioral addictive disorders and other psychiatric disorders within the context of psychiatry and neuropsychopharmacology. This book is intended for all psychiatrists and others who are interested in mental disorders, especially those who have not viewed patients who suffer from addictive disorders as typically in their bailiwick. By reading this book, all can better understand the addiction vocabulary and how it is relevant to them in clinical work. Each entry provides an appreciation not only of the meaning of the words related to addictive disorders but also their historical origins and the evolution of their use up to the present. Some examples of the words that are examined in detail in Historical Vocabulary of Addiction include Addiction, Alcoholism, Blackout, Competence, Conditioning, Craving, Delirium Tremens, Empathy, Gambling, Intoxication, Kindling, Mindfulness, Motivation, Pain, Prevention, Recovery, Resilience, Salience, Sexual Addiction, Tolerance, Trauma, Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome, among many more. The organization of the material under each heading in a conventional alphabetical order renders these vignettes more readily accessible for educational and other purposes. Additionally, each contribution can now be properly referenced as part of the historical record of the fields of psychiatry and neuropsychopharmacology.
