From the back cover: "Topics discussed: The clinical presentations of and important differences between the primary, secondary and reactive alcoholisms. The unique characteristics of alcohol abuse/dependence for special populations, i.e., the fetus, the adolescent, the woman, the elderly, the physician, in regard to diagnosis, treatment and prevention. the impact of alcohol abuse/dependence on the family system with the focus on family assessment and treatment involving significant others." Very good on defining effects on the body and includes diagrams. Good resource for teaching effects on body systems, etc. Therapists may appreciate the book more than recovering alcoholics.
