Abstract

Two common forms of alcoholism are described (World Health Organization, 1952; Kessel and Walton, 1965). The first is well recognized clinically, and has often been portrayed accurately by novelists and dramatists. So successfully has this more conspicuous form of alcohol addiction been publicized by Alcoholics Anonymous that Jellinek (1960) cautioned medical readers against overemphasis on it to the exclusion of the other clinical variety of the illness.
