Wrong Diagnosis-Wrong Treatment: The Plight of the alcoholic in America; By Joseph D. Beasley, M.D., Addictionend.com Books:271 Pages. Second Edition and Printing 2000.  Based on the monthly columns in the International Medical Tribune for seven years. It traces an executive, Cooper, through the development of the alcoholism and cross addiction with Benzodiazamines. The complications in family, job, and medical condition caused by Cooper's addiction are described and related to the malnutrition and toxicity caused by Cooper's addiction. Today a revolution is taking place in the treatment 'of alcoholism. The old moralistic-and the newer psychiatric-approaches that failed so resoundingly are being replaced scientifically by a much more hopeful model of the disease.  Alcoholism is now recognized as the result of inherited biochemical differences found in about 10% of the population. when these individuals drink, their faulty metabolism of alcohol over time develops into a serious biomedical brain disorder.  In response, the new model of treatment stabilizes the neuroreceptor activity of the individual's nervous system-nutritionally, immunologically, and metabolically. when approached in this manner, alcoholism becomes the most treatable of chronic diseases, and the prognosis for the patient is dramatically improved.  For the first time, this new scientific information about alcoholism is presented in an easily understandable manner for the lay reader. In crystal- clear terms, the book lays out:  1. How to tell if you or a loved one is an alcoholic.  2. what to do if the person afflicted doesn't think he has a problem.  3. How to find treatment for the disease.  4. How to 'tell if the treatment is adequate.  5. Once in recovery; how to stay in recovery.  6. How large organizations-unions and corporations-can deal with this problem effectively.
