Review of Recent Developments in Alcoholism, Vol. 2: Learning and Social Models, Alcohol and the Liver, Aging and Alcoholism, Anthropology

Reviews the book, Recent Developments in Alcoholism, Vol. 2: Learning and Social Models, Alcohol and the Liver, Aging and Alcoholism, Anthropology by Marc Galanter, Henri Begleiter, Richard Deitrich, Donald Goodwin, Edward Gottheil, Alfonso Paredes, Marcus Rothschild, and David Van Theil (1984). The book is good-the chapters are well done-but the topics are far too diverse for one volume. They are divided into four sections, each of which has a brief overview and a section editor: "I. Experimental Social and Learning Modes of Drinking"; "II. Alcohol and the Liver. Recent Development in Preclinical and Clinical Research"; "III. Aging and Alcoholism" and "IV, Contributions From Anthropology to the Study of Alcoholism". (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
