[Alcoholism treatments].
The problem of the alcoholic dependence entails often dramatic consequences: problems of health, acts of violence, traffic accidents, absenteeism at work and lost of social insertion. The alcohol has on the other hand a sociocultural registration in our way of life often associated with conviviality. The alcoholism is often defined by some as a disease, by the others as a social plague. It also differs according to the forms which it takes, its previous history and the functions which it performs. What definition can we accept? What are the therapeutic options to be implemented? Some answers will be considered through condiderations on the concept of motivation to change.
