Preface
From the President of the Research Society on Alcoholism
On behalf of the Research Society on Alcoholism, I am pleased to introduce
this 14th volume of Recent Developments in Alcoholism about the consequences
of alcoholism. Current concepts are presented in well-organized sections that
focus on the medical, neuropsychiatric, economic, and biobehavioral conse-
quences of alcoholism. This volume contains up-to-date discussions of these
issues. The editors and associate editors should be congratulated for bringing
together such important information. This volume will be a valuable resource
for investigators and therapists alike.
Ivan Diamond M.D., Ph.D.
President, Research Society on Alcoholism
From the President of the American Society of Addiction Medicine
On behalf of the American Society of Addiction Medicine, I am pleased to
announce that our society once again will cosponsor Recent Developments in
Alcoholism. This volume addresses the issues of age, gender, socioeconomy,
and behaviors as they relate to alcohol research and the disease of alcoholism.
The medical consequences of alcoholism are ably edited by Dr. Charles Lie-
ber, while the neuropsychiatric consequences of alcoholism are addressed by
Drs. Gottheil. This volume is rounded out with the in-depth discussion of the
economic consequences of alcoholism, edited by Dr. Fuller, and an interna-
tional perspective on the behavioral consequences of alcoholism, edited by
Dr. Paredes.
