From the President of the Research Society on Alcoholism In the
last decade research concerning the causes and consequences of
alcohol abuse and alcoholism has come of age. We have witnessed a
plethora of sci entific findings that have shed light on some of
the actions of alcohol at the molecular level. Interesting new data
have been forthcoming on the complexi ties of the development of
tolerance to alcohol. It is becoming increasingly appropriate to
consider that tolerance to alcohol involves biological as well as
psychological factors. New scientific insights have been gained
concerning the treatment of with drawal as well as the presence of
persistent withdrawal signs that may possibly be involved with
relapse. More recently, new and compelling data indicating that
alcoholism is a common familial disorder have appeared. Clinical
studies indicate that alcoholism is a heterogeneous disorder with
multiformity in clin ical symptomatology and genetic heterogeneity.
The heterogeneity of the clin ical features and the heritability of
the predisposing factors of alcoholism are currently under vigorous
scientific investigation. In the past several years sophisticated
psychosocial studies have provided fundamental information on
subjects at high risk for alcoholism. Psychosocial and biological
studies of families including alcoholics and subjects at high risk
are likely to bring new insights to our understanding of
etiological factors. Moreover, as a result of these studies we
stand to develop better prevention initiatives and treatment
approaches."
