Despite the fact that science has proven beyond shadow of a doubt that alcoholism is a disease and not a matter of willpower, countless alcoholics still aren`t getting the treatment they need. Beyond the Influence examines the biological factors behind alcoholism, like why some people are susceptible to addiction while others are not. It also offers a step-by-step guide to intervention, the essential aspects of any treatment program and methods for preventing relapses, among other factors we must take into consideration when battling this disease. The authors also analyze exactly why current treatment programs, government regulations and alcohol industry concerns do not help us deal with the problem. | Beyond The Influence by Katherine Ketcham, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
