While the war on drugs continues to attract worldwide attention, the fact that alcoholism remains a major worldwide health concern is often overlooked. No matter what one’s expertise, the CRC Handbook of Alcoholism can help practitioners acquire the necessary skills to treat problem drinkers and alcohol-dependent patients. This comprehensive handbook addresses the underlying psychological problems of alcoholism, and helps practitioners to better diagnose and treat the nonpsychiatric medical disorders caused by the disease.
