About the Book

For those who may have alcoholics in their personal or professional lives, this book describes the indicators of alcoholism, many of which seem too subtle and innocuous to suggest addiction. Listing more than 80 alcoholic forms of behavior and clues, such as the supreme-being complex and mental confusion, this guide links physical signs and behavioral changes to the various stages, explaining the brain chemistry that impels the afflicted person to drink addictively and act destructively. A compelling case for awareness and identification of alcohol-related symptoms and an attempt to avoid tragic and unsatisfactory events and outcomes, this behavioral examination is supplemented with endnotes, a bibliography, and recommendations for courses of action. The research conducted for this book incorporated extensive interviews with medical professionals and hundreds of recovering alcoholics.

About the Author :
Doug Thorburn provides continuing education for the California Association for Alcohol and Drug Educators and is the president and founder of the PrevenTragedy Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public on the importance of early identification of alcoholism. He lives in Northridge, California.

Review :
""How to Spot Hidden Alcoholics" by Doug Thorburn should be required reading for every teacher, counselor, treatment specialist, physician, clergy member, lawyer, and judge in this country." --Katherine Ketcham, author, "Under the Influence" and "Beyond the Influence" ""Eloquently describes the biology behind the affliction, how to identify early-stage alcoholism.... Every counselor, psychologist, physician, and interventionist should read this book." "An innovative and enlightening examination of alcoholism, "How to Spot Hidden Alcoholics" eloquently describes the biology behind the affliction, how to identify early-stage alcoholism based on behaviors, as well as what to do if you suspect someone you know--or don't know--has the disease of alcoholism. Every counselor, psychologist, physician, and interventionist should read this book." --Wallace D. Winters, M.D., Ph.D., emeritus professor of pharmacology, toxicology, and anesthesiology, University of California, Davis; retired FDA medical officer, Pacific region "Doug Thorburn shows how we can identify alcoholism in its early, hidden stage. His work explains countless tragic events that are otherwise nonsensical. He makes an incontrovertible case that no dysfunction, including poverty, illiteracy, and racism, causes more damage to society than alcohol and other drug addiction. Until we realize the extent of the millions who suffer from alcoholism, we cannot solve the majority of our social ills. "How to Spot Hidden Alcoholics" is a must read for every social commentator and everyone else who cares about the human condition." --Shawn Steel, former chairman, California Republican Party
