Linda A. Bennett

In this groundbreaking work, four distinguished researchers at the Center for Family Research at the George Washington Medical Center detail over ten years of research into alcoholism in the family context. "This landmark work is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand or treat alcohol abuse. A welcome counterpoint to the simplistic explanations usually offered on the subject, it provides us with the authors' many years of careful, sophisticated research in a clear, empathic, and clinically sensitive presentation. The developmental perspective has crucial implications for diagnosis and intervention".--Monica McGoldrick, Rutgers University Medical School. Notes, tables and index.
