Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries alcoholism was seen largely as a vice of the poor and its treatment rested almost entirely with the missions and the workhouse. The theory that alcoholism is a disease that can affect anyone regardless of social position is by no means universally accepted even today. Although in the last twenty-five years there has been a rapid increase in the number of public institutions for the treatment of alcoholics, the possibility remains that class status still influences the diagnosis and care they receive. This study observes a sample of patients of a public clinic, from their source of referral for treatment to termination of therapy, to determine the influences of class position on the therapy used in each case. The findings indicate that specific treatments are assigned along class lines. The authors of this study offer a number of necessary recommendations which ask for a more rational link between therapy and diagnosis than is currently evident in clinical practice. This is an extremely important and topical study, the findings of which are applicable beyond the treatment of alcoholism to the treatment of all behavioural disorders.
The present volume was prepared and was hoped that it will prove of value not only to research workers but also to those whose primary responsibilities in the alcoholism field are in the realm of treatment, education, or the administration of programs with these functions.
As a child, author Wolfgang Schmidt lived through the terror of World War II. In The Enemy''s Child, he chronicles the life of his German naval family from the 1930s through the 1950s. By placing a series of compelling memories within a broader historical context, he narrates the struggles German families faced during and after World War II. Schmidt''s family moved frequently, so this memoir offers a unique glimpse into life in nine wartime cities: Koszalin Pomerania, Kiel, Neustadt Holstein, Gdynia, Berlin, Bad Freienwalde, G├╢ttingen, Eckernf├╢rde Schleswig-Holstein, and Buir. It journeys from multiple naval stations on the Baltic Sea to bomb shelters in Berlin and the emergency exodus as the Russian front advanced. Providing insight into family life in Germany during World War II, The Enemy''s Child reveals the challenges of living in the country, contrasting the experiences of four brothers who chose different paths from war to hope, including Schmidt, who decided to make his life in America.
Over the last decade the world has experienced a growing interest in problems associated with the nonmedical use of drugs. As a result, the amount of research and writing on the subject of drug problems has greatly increased, and it has become very difficult for one individual to keep up with all the relevant literature.
