Women and Alcohol

Social Perspectives

This research and practice-based book considers the social meaning of women's alcohol use and its treatment, raising concerns about the political role of 'treatment' in making women behave, or to be 'well'. It challenges current policy and practice in the field, and aims to develop a new approach to women's drinking.
