Abstract: Discusses the socioeconomic context of alcoholism, the psychopathology, the pathological consequences, the methods of treatment, and the personality of the alcoholic. Music is used as a therapeutic mediator which facilitates communication. The parallels between music and alcohol are examined (e.g., location of use, source of pleasure, and anesthetic against disagreeable sensations).
