Recenzje

"This book reviews a wide variety of issues covering the biological and psychosocial contributors to alcoholism, public health and policy perspectives, as well as various medical and non-medical treatment approaches. Most of the information is covered in a general manner. The editors and contributing authors are from universities in India; therefore, some of the chapters give a unique perspective on different issues, such as the chapter on herbal and
natural medicines, which will not be found in most texts on this topic."
