Infos

Using case histories and offering clear guidelines for the management of the problem drinker, this book should be helpful to all those involved in alcoholism - from hospital doctors and nurses to social workers and probation officers. "The Treatment of Drinking Problems", is based on the author's extensive experience of managing alcoholic patients and while admitting the tremendous difficulties which can occur treating this type of patient, he shows how these difficulties may be constructively met. In this new edition the basic structure has been retained, but the content has been brought up-to-date to reflect current thinking on clinical concern, a new chapter has been added to the first section and the bibliography has been thoroughly revised and updated.
