The tragic societal losses caused by alcohol affect the work of all physicians. To what extent does this book meet the formidable challenge of enhancing the medical care system's responses?
Babor's chapter succinctly and readably presents for the generalist the complex controversies regarding definitions and diagnosis of alcoholism. The delightful geriatric vignettes in Ofman's chapter vividly describe the pathos and show how coordination of services produces dramatic outcomes, even with the cognitively impaired elderly. Unfortunately, the text immediately preceding these stories iterates the lack of data on this admittedly understudied group.
