Dr. Milton M. Gross, the editor of these volumes, died on July 29,
1976, after a brief illness. As chairman of the section on
Biomedical Research in Alcoholism of the I.C.A.A., he had plan ned
and brought to fruition the international "Symposium on Alcohol
Intoxication and Withdrawal" which had taken place in Lausanne the
month before. He was particularly proud of the distinguished group
of scientists he had helped to assemble and was eagerly looking for
ward to the publication of these proceedings which he hoped would
extend our understanding of the phenomenology of alcoholism. Milton
Gross was a most unusual man in the extent and range of his
activities and accomplishments. He was a certified psy chiatrist
and psychoanalyst, a recognized clinical researcher, the author of
more than fifty scientific papers, and the editor of three
important volumes on alcohol intoxication and withdrawal. He was
extremely active in the scientific world of alcoholism as planner
and coordinator of three international conferences, as chairman of
the section on Biomedical Research of the I.C.A.A., and as a member
of a W.H.O. Task Force on Alcoholism. In addition, he was very
active in a variety of scientific and service committees in
national and local organizations."
The contributions to this volume clearly indicate the momentum,
quality, liveliness and diversity of the research effort being di
rected toward deepening our understanding of tqe alcohol withdrawal
syndrome. This area of study has gained increasing interest and
attention to the point where it seemed reasonable to devote a spe
cial section to it at the 30th International Congress for
Alcoholism and Drug Dependence in Amsterdam in September, 1972. Our
goal was to share our most recent findings and stimulate others to
join in the effort. With few exceptions, the papers in this
publication present new data. It had been hoped that the volume
would appear by the end of 1972. However, the eagerness of many of
the contributors to extend their investigations made this target
date impossible. Several of the papers were not presented in the
section but were presented elsewhere in the Congress. However,
because of their particular relevance to the topic they have been
included with the generous consent of the authors."
