The Disease Concept of Alcoholism is a seminal work by Elvin Morton Jellinek that revolutionized the way alcoholism was viewed and treated. First published in 1960, the book presents a comprehensive analysis of the nature and causes of alcoholism, as well as the various treatment options available at the time.Jellinek argues that alcoholism is not a moral failing or a lack of willpower, but rather a disease that affects the body and mind. He provides detailed descriptions of the different stages of alcoholism, from early experimentation to chronic addiction, and discusses the physical, psychological, and social consequences of the disease.The book also explores the social and cultural factors that contribute to alcoholism, such as family history, peer pressure, and stress. Jellinek emphasizes the importance of early intervention and treatment, and provides an overview of the various treatment options available, including psychotherapy, group therapy, and medication.The Disease Concept of Alcoholism is a groundbreaking work that paved the way for a more compassionate and effective approach to treating alcoholism. It remains a classic in the field of addiction studies and is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the nature and treatment of alcoholism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
