This provocative and controversial book challenges a number of
widely held ideas in the alcohol/drug field by critically
evaluating the bases of these ideas. The field of alcohol/drug
studies is fraught with conflict and controversy, and each
generation of researchers and practitioners seems to have its own
special areas of conflict. In this new volume, experts focus on a
number of important issues of current interest and controversy. Is
alcoholism a "disease" or is it not? Should federal bans on drugs
like heroin and cocaine be removed and will that solve, modify, or
exacerbate the problem? Can the risk for alcoholism really be
predicted?Professionals from a very wide variety of
disciplines--medicine and biochemistry, psychiatry and psychology,
philosophy, anthropology, law, social work, and journalism--present
their very differing points of view on the perception of alcoholism
as a disease and on public policy issues like proposed legislative
controls over alcoholic beverages. Current Issues in Alcohol/Drug
Studies touches upon a number of questions that will be of interest
both to people in alcohol/drug research and in alcohol/drug
treatment and prevention. Because it will undoubtedly stimulate
further investigation and debate, researchers and policymakers will
also find it useful.
