First published in 1988, Alcoholism Etiology and Treatment provides a stimulating discussion concerning an understanding of the etiology and treatment of alcoholism. Divided into five chapters, it brings themes like the disease concept of alcoholism; interdisciplinary biobehavioral research on alcohol problems; sociocultural and organizational bases of support for alcohol treatment; genetic predisposition to alcoholism; and anthropological perspectives on prevention and intervention, to provide a forum for discussion of some of the issues that prevail in the field of alcoholism. This book is an essential read for students and scholars of addiction studies, psychology, sociology, and behavioural studies.
