Alcoholism in the Professions

This pioneering volume describes the first longitudinal study of alcoholic men and women in the professions. Based on personal interviews with 407 professionals over a five-year period, the book offers the first published data on alcoholic attorneys and the only follow-up study on alcoholic physicians, nurses, dentists, and social workers. In addition, the authors provide an international directory of support, advocacy, and disciplinary groups for alcoholic professionals, with complete information on whom to contact and requirements for membership.
