Description and Table of Contents
Description
This important volume focuses on the extent and nature of everyday violence in society and its connections with the use of alcohol. Based on a unique multi-method study of violence and aggression in one community, it is the first to combine several methods of study to present a broad outline of a theory that would explain much of the everyday aggression and violence that occurs after drinking. This book will be of value to clinicians and researchers working in the area of alcohol abuse, and those who encounter societal violence or alcohol abuse in their work, as well as physicians, social workers, social psychologists, and those in law-related professions. Teachers and students in these areas will also find the book useful and informative.
