The year 1961 marked the beginning of the second decade of
operation of the Alcoholism Research Foundation of Ontario. It also
marked the end, in certain respects, of a stage in its development
as a research organization. The most concrete event in this regard
was an amendment to the act governing the Foundation, which added
the words 'Drug Addiction' to its name and broadened its legitimate
scope to include the study of virtually all forms of addictive
behaviour. The year appeared to mark the end of a formative and
largely exploratory stage of research and the beginning of a period
characterized by a more precise sense of overall direction. This is
best revealed through an examination of the history of the
Foundation's research endeavour and of the character and results of
the numerous projects which have been conducted under its auspices.
Such an examination was attempted in the research section of the
1961 Annual Report of the Foundation. However, because of the
special purpose and highly restricted readership for which this
report was designed, it seemed desirable to publish the material
subsequently in a form suitable for wider distribution.
Accordingly, the present volume was prepared, and comprises a
somewhat revised and expanded version of the original review. It is
hoped that it will prove of value not only to research workers but
also to those whose primary responsibilities in the alcoholism
field are in the realm of treatment, education, or the
administration of programs with these functions.
