Specialists in the US and Canada have written 12 chapters that describe the epidemiology, etiology, assessment, treatment, and special populations associated with comorbid PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder) and SUD (substance use disorder). Following the four articles on epidemiology, an overview of treatments and a guideline to proposed practice are offered. Additional articles describe exposure-based and trauma-focused therapy, treatment outcomes and the role of coping, and the occurrence of this comorbidity in populations of veterans, incarcerated women, and adolescents.
