Abstract
Major developments in research involving the alcohol-alcoholic interaction are presented against a backdrop of the traditional perspective of alcoholism. Studies explaining the effects of alcohol, factors influencing drinking patterns, the significance of alcohol for the alcoholic, expectations regarding alcohol use and its affective and social consequences, the parameters of alcohol use, the question of control of alcoholism, and a number of treatment related issues are reviewed. It is concluded that much of this research is provocative and may recommend a reassessment of current thinking about the Nature of alcohol abuse and dependence. Such a reassessment, however, is seen to be difficult to make, for the task likely will require a paradigmatic shift.
