The most crucial issues concerning the causes and treatment of alcoholism are discussed in this stimulating and provocative volume. Leading experts critically review a number of topics prevailing in the field of alcoholism today that have direct implications for practitioners and researchers. The debate continues on the concept of alcoholism as a disease, particularly the influence of the concept within the American cultural framework, the positive and negative effects of the disease concept, and some possible alternatives to it. One of the most critical reviews to date on the genetic theory of alcoholism focuses on the flaws in the design and analysis of current genetic research. Other informative chapters address an interdisciplinary approach to alcohol studies and an in-depth review of the anthropological approaches to the study of alcohol. This insightful book offers exciting perspectives on current issues in alcoholism and their implications for shaping the future direction of the etiology and treatment field.
