In The Psychology of Alcoholism, Dr. George Barton Cutten provides a comprehensive exploration of alcoholism and its profound impact on both individuals and society. This seminal work begins with an overview of alcoholism, examining its prevalence and societal implications before delving deeper into the physiological and psychological effects of chronic alcohol consumption.
