Paper Summary:

This paper examines Milan's book on alcohol addiction which offers understanding through research and enables the reader to separate myth from reality. This paper explores the deep discord that exists among scientists, physicians and addiction treatment facilitators over the disease while detailing the progression of alcoholism and the effect on its victims.

From the Paper:

"In the opening chapter, the author describes the deep schism that exists among scientists, physicians, and addiction treatment facilitators over the disease of alcoholism. In fact, he sadly concedes that even among many researchers and legislators in the United States, alcoholism is still regarded as a moral issue instead of a disease. In fact, the American Medical Association has recognized alcoholism as a disease since 1956."
