The Alcohol 'Problem' Podcast

How the alcoholism model evolved: IAS Alert episode with Dr James Morris & Jem Roberts


Listen Later

In this episode Jem Roberts, Communications Manager at the Institute of Alcohol Studies, interviews our host Dr James Morris. The episode was originally produced by the Institute of Alcohol Studies.

They discuss how the model of alcoholism evolved and led to beliefs about alcohol problems being heavily focused on the severe end of the spectrum. Dr Morris discusses how  despite helping many people in their recovery, an alcoholism model carries some costs for public health objectives, particularly in terms of broader groups of people with alcohol use disorder.

This issue is addressed in further detail in an open access journal article available here:

(Mis)understanding alcohol use disorder: Making the case for a public health first approach
