In the 1980s the study of alcoholism was in a period of rapid
change, this book, originally published in 1985, identifies and
explores the three most controversial contemporary issues: changes
at the basic explanatory level in our concept of harmful drinking;
the undermining of our confidence that drinking behaviour can be
effectively modified in the traditional context of ‘treatment’;
and the changes in our concept of the effective prevention of
harmful drinking. The authors of the book came from a variety of
backgrounds, but all were members of the New Directions in the
Study of Alcohol Group. They broadly reject the disease concept of
alcoholism, but, as this volume shows, there is still scope for
vigorous debate and this book should have something of interest for
all concerned with problems of alcoholism.
