Conspiracy of Silence - Alcoholism

FINALLY, a book on alcoholism which gives answers, not just information. The author, a Psychiarist & recovered alcoholic, has been active in A.A. since 1963. A.A. the most effective treatment for "our number one disease" has existed for 56 years, yet only 5% of the victims are receiving the treatment. One in four hospitalized patients is alcoholic yet this is ignored during his hospitalization. A study of medical schools in the United States & Canada show some schools do not have a course on alcoholism & most others teach inadequately about alcoholism. The most important concept in medicine is EARLY DIAGNOSIS, yet alcoholism is practically never diagnosed in its early stages. Alcoholism is the only disease in which the patient is expected to make his own diagnosis & ADMIT his illness as if he were a criminal. A new technique of diagnosing alcoholism with one question is demonstrated. All these problems & more are dealt with simply & effectively in this book. The author proves alcoholism is not a complicated disease but a SIMPLE DISEASE WHICH WE HAVE COMPLICATED. Mythologies about alcoholism are debunked. If you have an alcoholic in your life, this book is must reading.Hennigan, Leo P. is the author of 'Conspiracy of Silence - Alcoholism' with ISBN 9780962638220 and ISBN 0962638226.
