Is Alcoholism Hereditary?
One in Six Families in America Is Affected by Alcoholism. Here Is the Answer to Their Most Pressing Question
Author: Donald W. Goodwin, M.D.
Overview
Does alcoholism truly run in families—or is it a matter of environment, willpower, or circumstance? In this pioneering work, psychiatrist and researcher Donald W. Goodwin, M.D. explores the role genetics plays in alcoholism, offering families and individuals a clear, science-based understanding of the risks and realities.
Combining decades of research with practical insights, Dr. Goodwin dispels myths and addresses the hereditary factors that influence who may be more vulnerable to alcohol dependence. He explains how alcoholism is “passed along” across generations, why some relatives of alcoholics are at higher risk, and what preventive steps can make a difference.
