There is no shortage of books on behavioral research, on behavioral
research on alcoholism, or on behavioral research on alcoholism
treatment. Most of the authors of chapters in this book have been
involved in the writing of these books. The books and their authors
have played an important role in the dramatic increase in the
influence of behavioral approaches to one of our society's most
troubling human problems. There are not many books, though, which
detail the longitudinal course of the behavioral therapies, none
doing so for behavior therapy with al coholics and problem
drinkers. That this book now appears, then, is a first, made more
valuable by the fact that the chapter's authors are both research
ers and clinicians, willing and able to combine respect for
empirical data with clinical sensitivity and compassion, concern,
and commitment for their patients. The chapters in this book reveal
important commonalities and telling divergencies in technique,
strategy, and treatment tactics. Despite a common perspective on
etiology and treatment, the authors of the chapters in this book
diverge in criteria for deciding on treatment goal, choice of
initial intervention target, the specifics of techniques used, and
follow-up proce dures. Common to all, though, is an openness to
innovation, a pragmatic appreciation of approaches that work, and a
sincere respect for the patient and his or her fundamental desire
for a healthy, happier, and more produc tive life.
