Handbook of Clinical Alcoholism Treatment
Edited by Bankole A. Johnson, Pedro Ruiz, and Marc Galanter. Baltimore, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2003, 316 pp., $42.00 (paper).
"The editors and chapter authors of the Handbook of Clinical Alcoholism Treatment set out to provide a comprehensive, easily accessible review addressing crucial issues in the understanding of the disease of alcoholism. They have accomplished this with extraordinary attention to detail in what has morphed into a mini-textbook rather than a cursory review or handbook. For primary care providers and addiction specialists, this resource provides extensive epidemiological, neurobiological, psychological, and sociocultural knowledge relevant to the understanding and successful treatment of patients suffering from alcoholism."--from review at ajp.psychiatryonline.org.
