Recent Developments in Alcoholism
'Each topic is covered in sufficient depth, currency, and clarity to be of value to the neophyte and the seasoned researcher/clinician.' --- American Journal of Psychiatry, from a review of a previous volume The current volume addresses a range of issues across this diverse field, including the effects on society, physiology and biochemistry, clinical pathology, and trends in treatment.
Alcoholism
From the President ofthe Research Society onAlcoholism - On behalf of the Research Society on Alcoholism I welcome the important contri bution that Volume 15 of this excellent series on Recent Developments in Alcoh- ism brings to our field. It is not enough for our scientists to develop effective and efficient methods to identify and treat alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence; the availability of these services is often limited and it is certainly nonexistent for the early problem drinker. In nineteen outstanding chapters, Volume 15 deals with organizational issues concerning access to and delivery of substance abuse treatment and the role of managed care. Several chapters deal with economic issues, cost-benefits, and - nancing of these services. Lastly, five address recent treatment outcome studies. Thus, this volume will be of great value to both scientists and practitioners. The Editor and Associate Editors are congratulated for this conceptual and organi- tional accomplishment. Yedy Israel, Ph.D.
