Beskrivning

The Genetics of Alcoholism is the first book to provide comprehensive coverage of this controversial subject.The book is divided into three main sections. Part I on Genetic Epidemiology contains five chapters on different types of studies which when considered together define many of the issues to be addressed in Part II: Laboratory Studies in Animals and Humans of Genetic Influences in Alcoholism. The chapters in this section in turn provide the main themes for Part III - Strategies for Genetic Research in Alcoholism. The book also details those genetic factors that reduce the risk of alcoholism as well as those that increase vulnerability. This integrated approach provides the reader with a thorough and critical overview of the subject and as such is a challenging reference resource for every physician interested in alcohol abuse.

"An extraordinarily concise and comprehensive look at the studies conducted by scientists in their efforts to define and treat this prevalent and destructive illness...Thorough, well-organized and directed in its approach. Presenting complex material for a diverse audience is never easy, but given the scope of this work, coupled with the fact that there were multiple contributing authors, this is an excellent text."--Applied Cytogenetics"A timely and well-integrated review of the genetics of alcoholism...A strong point for this book is its depth and scholarly referencing of evidence for major points....I recommend this book to a broad range of clinicians as well as researchers who are interested in up-to-date and comprehensive review of the genetics of alcoholism...as well as concise reviews of powerful methods of genetic methodology...An excellent opportunity to broaden one's understanding ofthe genetics of this most important and destructive disorder."--The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease
