Abstract

Substance Abuse Compulsive behavior Cognition
Chapter 7 discusses opiate cognitions, including psychopharmacological mechanisms that underpin the subjective effects of the opiates, socio-cultural influences on opiate use, the measurement of cognitions that represent drug reinforcement, the nature of opiate expectancy domains, how cognitive subsets operate to influence heroin use, and how similar opiate expectancies are to the expectancies associated with other drugs.
