Question by worldrunner2000: What is the difference between Type I and Type 2 acoholism? (Or is it Type A & Type B alcoholism?)?
I work in the Substance Abuse field and see both problem drinkers (meeting DSM IV criteria for “Abuse”) and addicted individuals (meeting at least 3 of 7 criteria for Dependency). How can I explain types of alcoholism (not problem drinking, i.e. abuse) and the Types to a class to help them better understand themselves?
