Riassunto

This text investigates whether or not there is a causal link between personality traits and the development of alcohol abuse. Findings suggest that there is such a link: people who are inclined toward sensation-seeking are likely to consume more alcohol, and those who show high levels of psychotic and/or antisocial behaviour are more inclined to have alcohol problems. The authors develop and validate a measure of the addiction-prone personality.

Recensione

`It is an excellent and comprehensive book what it is- an empirical study on the etiology of alcohol/drug abuse and personality.'
Journal of Hospital Librarianship, 1:4 (2001)
`...this work gives much more attention to alcohol abuse. The "prealcoholic personality" is covered in detail, as is the personality of the alcohol user and the person who is clinically dependent on alcohol......readers who are involved in personality research would benefit a great deal from the comprehensive assessment of a vast body of research data that the authors present in this book.'
Psychiatric Services, 52:12 (2001)
