Alcoholism and Other Drug Problems

Scratchley, David

The need: to look calmly and objectively, using principles rather than involving peronalities. Published by Hazeldon. Once alcoholism was a sin, and the clergy denounced it; once, it was a crime, and the courts punished it; today, there is an increasing acceptance of alcoholism as a disease, and one consequence of that acceptance is the view of some that alcoholism has no moral dimensions whatever. (From back cover.)

This book is an attempt to present the traditional Scholastic philosophy of man's nature in a fresh light, from a point of view that may make is more acceptable to the modern scientific mind. This should please the philosopher looking for a new presentation, and the psychologist looking for philosophical orientation. The object is not to dispense with either psychology or philosophy: marriage is never the reduction of one to the other-vive la difference! That the two are compatible is the theme of this book. It is up to the reader to decide whether the result is a happy mating or a mismatch.
