Dr. James R. Milam and Katherine Ketcham
"The most important breakthrough in alcoholism since the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous in 1935." –Ron Fagan, Founder & Director, Cedar Hills Alcoholism Treatment Center

Some Facts About Alcoholism

	Alcoholism is our #1 public health problem—and getting worse.
	Alcoholism is a physical addiction—not the symptom of a psychological problem.
	Alcoholism cannot be cured, and recovered alcoholics can never safely return to drinking.
	Nutritional therapy is a vital requirement for full recovery.

Ten million Americans suffer from alcoholism, yet most people still wrongly believe that alcoholism is a psychological or moral problem, and that it can be cured by psychotherapy or sheer will power. Based on groundbreaking scientific research, UNDER THE INFLUENCE examines the physical factors that set alcoholics and non-alcoholics apart, and suggests a bold stigma-free way of understanding and treating the alcoholic. What you will learn from this book:

	How to tell if someone you know is an alcoholic
	The progressive stages of alcoholism
	How to get an alcoholic into treatment—and how to chose a treatment program
