Alcoholism: The Facts by The late Donald W. Goodwin (2000-01-13)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2ZA2J3/?tag=2022091-20
Alcoholism (The Facts Series)
(The third edition of this successful Facts title was auth...)
The third edition of this successful Facts title was authored by the late Dr. Donald W. Goodwin, who wrote with a unique and engaging style defining alcoholism in very human terms. Although much of Dr Goodwin's assessments of alcoholism still hold true today, a great deal of progress has been made in the quest to better understand the underlying causes of the disease. This fourth edition, written by a group of Dr Goodwin's former colleagues, updates the content while maintaining the original flavour of Dr Goodwin's style. The new edition includes updated information about the effects of alcohol consumption on the body, a new section on the particular sensitivity of women to the effects of drinking, and information and advice relating to the consequences of alcohol abuse for the abusers, their families and society.

Alcohol and the Writer
(From Publishers Weekly In researching alcoholism, Goodwin...)
From Publishers Weekly In researching alcoholism, Goodwin, head of the University of Kansas Medical Center psychiatry department and author of Is Alcoholism Hereditary? , discovered that a great many prominent 20th century American writers drank to excess71%, the highest rate of any group studied. A deft biographical sketch precedes analysis of the drinking patterns, circumstances, heredity and psychological elements presumably responsible for the addictions of, among others, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Steinbeck and Faulkner. The author describes the writers' behavior while drunk, and attitudes towards drinking that range from shame to fatalism. He also appraises the effects of alcohol on their health and artistic sensibilitiesfor example, the LSD-like, absinthe-induced hallucinations reflected in Poe's work. Writing, Goodwin theorizes in his enlightening, thoughtful study, calls for exhibitionism, an interest in people, fantasy, and self-confidence, all of which alcohol promotes even as it assuages the loneliness and concentration which the craft requires. However, he notes, the extent to which writing and alcohol are related remains debatable. First serial to West Coast Review of Books. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.
