Description

This book contains the fifteen invited papers delivered at the NATO International Conference on Experimental and Behavioral Appro­ aches to Alcoholism, held August 28 through September 1, 1977, at the Solstrand Fjord Hotel, Os, Norway. The editors of the book were Co-Directors of that conference.

Many persons and institutions deserve special thanks for their part in the success of the conference. Among these persons are Dr.
