At last a methodologically rigorous study of alcoholism
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I first acquired this book shortly after it was published in 1991, and I have now been continuously sober for over eleven years. The hypothesis that alcoholism is an empirically identifiable neurochemical imbalance in the brain is still met with strong resistance by drunks, moralists and many therapists.
