Phases Of Alcohol Addiction by E. M. Jellinek 

                     Reprint From Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol - December 1952

  Addiction and recovery often follow a predictable pattern. The Jellinek Curve is a visual representation of the stages

many people go through when grappling with a substance use problem. 

  While the Jellinek Curve was originally created as a tool for explaining the trajectory of alcoholism, the visual arc has 

been modified and applied to many types of addiction. 

                        

  According to Jellinek, people addicted to alcohol tend to pass through four progressive sequences. These include the

"pre-alcoholism" phase, the "prodromal" phase, the "crucial" stage and finally the "chronic" phase.

  This booklet has been folded previously, back cover has some staining and an Information Center stamp.

Otherwise in good condition for it's age.
