This long-awaited follow-up to the classic text Clinical Manual of Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment presents the latest research on substance use and substance use disorders (SUDs) in adolescents 12–18 and emerging adults 18–25 years of age. This new manual offers a substantive update of the previous manual's 16 chapters, offering 7 additional chapters devoted to important new topics, such as pediatric primary care assessment and intervention, electronic tools, specific substances (e.g., cannabis, opioids, alcohol), and much more. Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and substance abuse specialists, as well as applied researchers and public health professionals, will find this new manual a research-rich and clinically compelling resource for understanding disease course, prevention, diagnosis, substance-specific interventions, co-occurring disorders, and issues related to special populations.
The
strengths of this text, edited by two of the foremost experts on addiction
among youth, are many:
• Because youth are not simply "miniature adults," the book uses a
developmentally informed approach to understand the onset of substance use
and the trajectory to SUD and behavioral addictive disorders.
• An
extensive section of the book is devoted to epidemiology, diagnosis, and
interventions for specific substances of abuse, including alcohol, tobacco,
cannabis, and opioids. The full range of interventions are described for
each, including pharmacotherapy, cognitive-behavior therapy, motivational
enhancement, and psychosocial strategies.
• An introduction on the
nature of the association between co-occurring disorders is followed by
chapters on internalizing disorders (such as depression), suicidal behavior,
psychotic disorders, externalizing disorders (such as
attention-deficit/hyperactivity), and behavioral addictions
• Special
chapters are devoted to the management of youth with SUDs in the juvenile
justice system and the consequences, for the child, of maternal substance
use during pregnancy. Advances in research and clinical strategies make both
topics timely.
• Three appendixes complete the book. The first offers
resources for screening and assessment tools, the second provides a select
list of websites for parents who are seeking advice and resources about drug
prevention and intervention, and the third lists websites containing general
information about self-help, including how to find local AA or NA meetings.
Emerging research on developmental psychopathology and adolescent development has implications for how we view current prevention, intervention, and treatment paradigms, and Clinical Manual of Youth Addictive Disorders is indispensable in helping the reader understand and implement effective strategies for these patients and their families.

This is a comprehensive compilation of current, up-to-date information on the latest scientific findings and applied principles in real world situations. It will be a valuable resource for all healthcare clinicians who work with adolescents and young adults.
— Michael Easton, M.D.
The manual is an excellent book for any clinician who works with mental health issues in youth. Primary care physicians and nurses who work with populations at high risk of substance use would also benefit from reading it, particularly if they are caring directly for youth with substance use. Practicing psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other mental health clinicians, as well as trainees in these areas, are all likely to benefit from reading this book.

The second edition of the Clinical Manual of Youth Addictive Disorders, edited by Yifrah Kaminer, MD, MBA, and Ken C. Winters, PhD, is a timely and comprehensive resource for clinicians working with adolescents and young adults struggling with substance use disorders and behavioral addictions. Published by American Psychiatric Association Publishing in 2019, this 630-page manual provides an evidence-based guide to understanding, assessing, and treating these complex and increasingly prevalent issues in youth populations.
The Clinical Manual of Youth Addictive Disorders has been widely recognized as a gold standard text for training residents in psychiatry, child psychiatry fellows, and clinicians who may not be specialists in addiction. Over the past 3 years, the manual has provided educational infrastructure in workshops at the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry Residency Training (AADPRT), the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), and the American Psychiatric Association (APA). Its widespread use in national educational settings underscores the manual's value as a comprehensive, accessible resource for clinicians at all levels of training and expertise.
