STRECKER, Edward A. and Francis T. Chambers Jr. Alcohol. One Man's Meat.
New York: Macmillan, 1938. First edition. From the library of Dr. C.B. Farrar with his bookplate. Cloth, 230pp. A fine copy in a near fine d/w.
"One of the most encouraging results of the development of modern psychiatric diagnosis and treatment has been a change in the point of view toward alcoholism. Except in a few sanatoriums where the chances of a "cure" were doubtful, little was done until comparatively recently to enable the chronic alcoholic addict to cure himself in order that he might lead a relatively well adjusted life. The senior author of the present book is an able psychiatrist with much experience. He presents for the first time a short, rather simple, volume describing what is being done and what can be done for the alcoholic addict, bearing in mind the new point of view that alcoholism is a mental disease which, in the hands of modern psychiatrists, can be cured in many cases."
