title: Alcoholism among Aboriginal people.
abstract: Much has been spoken and written about alcohol problems in Aboriginal communities, but little has been achieved in dealing with these problems effectively, as is clearly illustrated by the statistics in this article, which summarizes the over-all situation in New South Wales, analyses its historical development, and shows its present catastrophic proportions. An approach, based on 13 years of active and intensive involvement in this particular field, is presented which if properly implemented, could greatly alleviate this pressing problem.
