“…Both these indicators clearly involve less drinking than the Russian zapoi . The latter reminds me of Jellinek's classical description of ‘benders’, reported by only the most severe of the alcoholics and rare in general population samples [9,10].…”

“…The role of genetics in the development of alcohol abuse and alcoholism has gained momentum since Jellinek's (1946) early work. Research seems to indicate that problem drinking is, at least in part, a heritable family disorder with a genetic origin (e.g., Cloninger, 1987).…”

Research has indentified numerous risk and protective factors related to adolescent alcohol and other drug (AOD) use. However, most theoretical models do not account for nuances attributable to variations in culture or how these may influence prevention and treatment models. In this article, we have 4 primary purposes: First, we present an extensive and critical review of the literature on adolescent AOD use among Latino youths; second, we point out the idiosyncrasies associated with AOD use among Latino youths; third, we organize the literature according to Bronfenbrenner's bioecodevelopmental framework to bring together findings from a number of fields and disciplines in a thoughtful manner; and fourth, we point out different implications for researchers and practitioners.

“…One must note here that the heuristic value of the disease concept of alcoholism was questionable for the same reason. It was no accident that little work of any substance was conducted on the process ofthe development of drinking problems since Jellinek's work on phases of alcohol addiction [13,14]. It was only indirectly through the study of alcohol consumption distributions and population surveys that it became clear that some more flexible aetiological perspective was required.…”

The term 'alcoholism' has been dropped from the International Classification of Diseases and replaced by the concept of the 'alcohol dependence syndrome'. Four justifications for the syndrome idea are examined. It has been claimed that (I) the syndrome's existence was supported by scientific evidence but only psychobiological alterations were truly supported by evidence; (2) dependence was not considered as all or none, but other statements contradicted this; (3) the syndrome idea had clinical usejulness but it can be argued that the concept would be superfluous within a thorough assessment and would likely confuse rather than enlighten a patient; (4) the syndrome concept synthesised research findings which contradicted the alcoholism concept, but this might inhibit further research by concentrating on impaired control' and neglecting the process ofthe development of drinking problems Since both the validity and the utility ofthe concept ofthe alcohol dependence syndrome are questionable. It IS suggested that the WHO's formal support for it was partly a political decision, and that the assertion that dependence is an illness might be an attempt to rejustify the role of medical expertise in this area. jy J y
