This second edition of the "Resource Book" assembles a selection of scientific, philosophical, and educational drug abuse literature. The publication, as viewed by its authors, serves as a basis for improved understanding, trust, and communication between teacher and student concerning drug use and its place in both contemporary youth culture and in general society. The first section of the book includes articles which attempt to enhance adult perceptions of young people, their attitudes and problems, and the diversity of motivations behind their use of drugs. Section 2 presents articles on specific drugs, both legal and illegal. Articles in Section 3 present a variety of current treatment program models and describe drug abuse research efforts. The final and most extensive section of the book deals with matters relating to the specifics of the educational process as related to drug abuse. It is hoped that this publication will provide educators with valuable information about drugs and the drug scene, and will act as a catalyst in promoting the commitment and involvement needed to make the classroom an effective focus in drug abuse prevention.
