Abstract:
examined historical, cultural, and psychological factors contributing to alcoholism in the black community
both the role of the temperance movement and the migration to the North in the early 1900s served as a turning point in alcohol consumption by blacks / racial discrimination did and continues to play a critical role in the etiology of drinking among blacks
there must be an awareness of the socioeconomic context and its impact on the intrapsychic processes / elimination of stereotypic biases by both staff and clients and the inclusion of cutural mores, values, and traditions are necessary to maximize intervention and treatment (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
