Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to let you know that the Summer Institute on Alcohol, Drugs and Addiction will be held at the International School for Humanities and Social Sciences at the  Universiteit van Amsterdam from July 13- 26, 2008.
The Summer Institute offers students of various disciplines and professions a great opportunity to advance their knowledge in the field of addiction studies in an international environment. The Institute is an intensive two-week summer programme that seeks to provide an interdisciplinary approach to the study of addiction and to promote opportunities for international networking among participants.

The Institute welcomes individuals with a focused interest in addiction research and treatment, Master’s and PhD students, NGO staff working on addiction-related issues, professionals in human services, practitioners, and advocates.

We expect a 2008 class of approximately 15 students. The Institute's classes are intensive small group seminars with discussions, excursions, faculty lectures and guest lectures by prominent people in the field. We will be able to provide CEUs for most counselors as well as course credits for students.

The scientific director is Helen Levine, and this year’s faculty includes Dennis McCarty, Lala Ashenberg Straussner, and Mirjam Schieveld. Applications must be addressed to the Universiteit van Amsterdam at the address below. You can visit our web site:
