ALCOHOLIC PSYCHOSES

(Editor's Note: For a broader understanding of alcoholism, The A.A. Grapevine will each month in this department print articles and writings of others than A.A.s themselves. Last month the first of these reprints appeared, an editorial entitled "Alcohol--A Management Problem," which had originally appeared in Printers' Ink. This month's "Reference Library" reading is taken from the book, Fundamentals of Psychiatry by Edward A. Strecker, M.D. Portions of pages 81-88 are reprinted by permission of the publisher, J. B. Lippincott Company, and the author.)
