Abstract:
Alcoholism is regarded as a multifactorial disorder, but the causes of alcoholism are poorly understood. The most important part of dealing with this widespread health and social problem is a prevention and early identification and treatment of those at risk. Therapeutic intervention should take place before development of cognitive impairment and physical dependence, otherwise treatment of developed alcoholism is notoriously unsatisfactory.
