As a matter of fact there is an abundance of valid information about alcoholism and other addictions scattered around the life sciences and clinical information sources. The reason it has been so fragmented and useless is that it cannot be assembled within the defunct paradigm that is still so stubbornly held in place by vested interests.

Nevertheless, during the last few decades a new biogenic paradigm has emerged that fully integrates all of the valid scientific and clinical knowledge of addiction. For the first time ever it provides clear understanding and guidance in addressing all aspects of the problem of addiction. It is all spelled out in my classic book coauthored with Kathryn Ketcham, Under the Influence (UTI), available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other booksellers.

If you or someone you care about has a problem with alcohol or drugs, you can't afford to continue to flounder in disinformation. Millions have already demonstrated that the understanding readily available in UTI can make the critical difference in saving lives otherwise lost to misdiagnosis and mistreatment of addiction. Get UTI and read it.

For the broader understanding of the paradigm shift, you are invited to freely view, copy and share with others the Seminal Documents available here.
