Abstract:
This book offers a comprehensive, critical look at what is known and not known about COA's, and also constructs a model for assessing existing theory and introducing new methodological rigor into this field.This book is a must for anyone working in the area of addictive behaviors, particularly those in the alcohol field. Its careful and thorough review of the empirical literature will help clarify the considerable rhetoric that currently exists with respect to genetic vulnerability to alcohol problems.
