This new edition provides a welcome update of a text that has
become a standard reference for researchers and teachers alike.
Like the previous edition, this fine overview will stand as an
important resource for a wide range of readers interested in
theories of causation of drinking-related behaviors and problems
and alcohol dependence. --Marc A. Schuckit, MD, Editor, Journal of
Studies on Alcohol, Professor of Psychiatry, UCSD School of
Medicine, Director, Alcohol Research Center, San Diego VA Medical

In recent decades, psychology has made extraordinary advances in
the understanding of alcohol misuse and how it can be rationally
treated. This brilliantly produced text critically distills that
knowledge base and makes it available to a wide audience of
students, scholars, and practitioners. The volume is comprehensive
and immensely authoritative. --Griffith Edwards, CBE, DSc, DM,
FRCP, FRCPsych, Editor-in-Chief, Addiction, National Addiction
