Abstract

This report provides a brief, general overview of how alcoholism is reported to be dealt with in one of the Soviet Union's largest cities. It attempts to describe both the philosophical and applied approaches practiced, and affords an opportunity to compare these approaches with those in the United States. Specifically, the paper presents a brief historical review and description of services provided to clients at alcohol treatment centers in the city of Leningrad, USSR, and discusses contemporary Soviet attitudes toward alcoholism.
