"The classic guide to alcoholism [originally published in 1981] returns with new, enlightening research that confirms the revolutionary ideas first trailblazed by this book in a time when such theories were unheard of--now featuring a new foreword, new resources, and the same reliable insights and easy-to-read style. Ten of millions of Americans suffer from alcoholism, yet most people still wrongly believe that alcoholism is a psychological or moral problem that can be "cured" once the purported underlying psychological problems or moral failings of the alcoholic are addressed. Based on groundbreaking scientific research, 'Under the Influence' examines the physical factors that set alcoholics and non-alcoholics apart, and suggests a bold, stigma-free way of understanding and treating the disease of alcoholism."-From publisher.

Ketcham, Katherine, 1949-
