Aims and Scope:

Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly is a professional journal for clinicians working with persons and their families who are experiencing alcohol problems. It is designed to bridge the gap between research, treatment and recovery. It highlights new and innovative approaches to care, describing clinical problems and solutions and detailing practical and unique approaches to intervention and treatment. It espouses an interdisciplinary approach in addressing the concerns of healthcare professionals, clergy, educators and all who are concerned about the needs of persons with alcohol problems and their families.
