"We ourselves are part of the problem, not ofits solution." This
pronouncement, made by psychologist R. S. B. Wiener during the
panel on social policy, provided a leading Dutch weekly with an
excellent headline for an article on the 30th International
Congress on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. With it Wiener touched
one of the central, if not the central issue of the alcohol and
drug problem. Why do we fix our attention so emphatically on 'the
other people', on the consumers, abusers and addicts? Has not the
time come that, also at scientific and learned congresses, we
should start occupying ourselves with the shortcomings of society
and with its legislation and policy as factors promoting this abuse
and addiction? The question is so obvious that no one will dare
give a neg ative answer. For this reason it is even more striking
that it is given so little serious thought. We still try to change
the consumer instead of the social structure. In his opening
address, the Minister of Public Health and Environmental Hygiene of
the Netherlands, Dr 1. B. J. Stuyt, gave some attention to this
social structure. He pointed out that a social structure which is
characterized by poverty and deprivation promotes the abuse of
alcohol. Dekker/van der Wal (eds. ). Man and His Mind-Changers.
