This book maps the historical and cultural dimensions of the phenomenon. Emphasising medical attitudes and theories regarding alcohol and the changing perception of alcohol consumption in psychiatry and mental health, it explores the shift from the use of alcohol in clinical treatment and as part of dietary regimens to the emergence of alcoholism as a disease category that requires medical intervention and is considered a threat to public health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Waltraud Ernst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526159406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526159403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.94d","brand":"Waltraud Ernst","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44068468293887,"sku":"9781526159403","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2432fd1e-1fa2-4783-939a-8b1de7cb7f73.jpg?v=1685419175","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alcohol-psychiatry-and-society-waltraud-ernst-9781526159403","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
