The individual authors, all of whom are high profile researchers of international standing, have provided a series of chapters that cover mechanisms that underpin cognitive processes in addiction and their application to specific addictive behaviours.
It is only recently that the cognitive aspects of addictive behaviours have begun to be investigated by experimental psychologists and neuroscientists. This book investigates the complex inter-play of cognitive mechanisms that underpin subjective experiences associated with addiction, such as drug craving, as well as relapse.

Autorenporträt
Marcus Munafò's research interests are in the integration of multiple research perspectives to understand individual differences in smoking behaviour and, in particular, smoking cessation. This has included substantial work on smoking cessation pharmacogenetics, as well as behavioural and neuroimaging studies of smoking-related endophenotypes. He recently contributed material on the genetics of smoking behaviour and smoking cessation pharmacogenetics, with Caryn Lerman, to the forthcoming Surgeon General's Report on tobacco-related disease. In 2004 he was awarded the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco Young Investigator Award, and in 2005 the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology Fellowship Award. Ian P. Albery is Professor of Psychology at London South Bank University, Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society, Member of the Division of Health Psychology of the BPS and a Chartered Health Psychologist. He previously held posts at the University of Kent at Canterbury, the National Addiction Centre at the Institute of Psychiatry and the University of Reading. He is the author of numerous chapters and academic papers in aspects of cognition and addiction and also runs a very successful MSc in Addiction Psychology and Counselling at London South Bank University.
