Abstract

The author believes that alcoholism is an emotional illness and should be treated like any other emotional illness. At present, prejudice toward the alcoholic often hides this fact and hinders his care. After outlining psychotherapeutic strategies and the minimum essential network of community services, the author describes how alcoholism services are delivered in a comprehensive community mental health center in Rochester, N. Y.
