“This new edition takes a bold stance from page one.”—Debra Jay,
addiction specialist and author of It Takes a Family
“This updated edition of the enduring classic should be in every
doctor’s office, judge’s chambers, and counselor’s office. It
remains a tremendous teaching tool, and one of the best books on
the subject I know. In my five decades training medical students on
how to diagnose and treat alcoholism and addiction, this has been
an amazing resource, and I continue to recommend this volume to my
students and patients alike.”—Nicholas A. Pace, M.D.,
F.A.S.A.M.
“Milam and Ketcham’s newest version brings the clarity of the
original with still greater currency—and urgency. Whether
you’re a student learning the clinical aspects of alcoholism, a
treatment professional working in the field a long time, or an
individual trying to get some personal answers, there’s plenty in
this edition of Under the Influence to review, relearn, unlearn,
and fascinate. . . . It is sure to become well read and well worn
right alongside its predecessor.”—Kevin McCauley, M.D.
“The reissuance of Under the Influence could not have come up at a
more perfect time. The current pandemic has resulted in
skyrocketing alcoholism, and the need for the original findings
along with the latest research and expanded resources is essential
to all who have been impacted. Under the Influence is a must-read
for judges, prosecutors, and all stakeholders in the justice system
who deal with these issues every day.”—Susan Broderick, program
director at the National District Attorneys Association, former
assistant district attorney, Manhattan DA’s Office
“A classic work, now revised and updated for future
generations.”—Richard Ries, M.D.
“Under the Influence is a classic in the addiction recovery field
and has helped countless families. This new edition is a winner. It
will bring hope and healing to all who read it. . . . Highly
recommended.”—Jeff Jay, clinical interventionist and co-author of
Love First
“A well-rounded digestible guide for all those searching for
practical information about alcohol and pathways to recovery.”—Greg
Williams, filmmaker, The Anonymous People
“As a professional in alcoholism treatment and an individual in
long-term recovery, I believe this updated revision of Under the
Influence will be as impactful today as it was forty years ago. By
revising and updating this book, Ketcham and Milam will
inspire a new generation of professionals, and help countless
families and individuals understand this disease and lead many to
their path of recovery.”—Scott Munson, executive director, Sundown
M Ranch Treatment Center
“There is no better time for an update of Under the Influence, an
essential tool for destroying the denial, clarifying the facts, and
erasing the stigma of alcoholism with clarity and purpose. I am
grateful to Kathy Ketcham and Dr. Milam for sharing this
understanding once again when we need it most.”—Don Fertman,
chairman of the board of The Phoenix
