摘要编辑我想谈谈唐纳德·W博士。古德温对威廉·马德森的《美国酗酒者》的评论（229：1112，1974）。我认为古德温博士没有抓住这本书的全部要点，这本书确实是对匿名酗酒者协会（AA）的一个很好的描述，也是对AA在帮助克服这种成瘾方面的成功的一个很好的描述，特别是考虑到精神病学的明显失败。我同意马德森先生确实花了相当多的时间参考，但我相信他是在试图收集尽可能多的关于这种疾病的想法和细节。参考书目当然是详尽的，我们这些积极从事处理酗酒者的人会发现这本书中的许多材料都很有价值。
ABSTRACT To the Editor.— I would like to comment on Dr. Donald W. Goodwin's review of The American Alcoholic by William Madsen (229:1112, 1974).I believe Dr. Goodwin missed the whole point of the book, which is really an excellent description of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and an excellent account of the success of AA in helping to overcome this addiction, particularly in view of the notable failure of psychiatry. I agree that Mr. Madsen does spend considerable time on reference, but I believe he is trying to gather as many ideas and details as possible about the disease in one place. The bibliography is certainly exhaustive, and those of us who are actively engaged in handling alcoholics will find much of the material in this book of great value.
