Dr. George Vaillant, a psychiatrist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, “is a staunch believer in Alcoholics Anonymous, based on his finding that men who attended more than 100 meetings were more likely to remain sober than those who attended only a handful. His 1983 book ‘The Natural History of Alcoholism’ explains that alcoholism leads to depression, isolation, and family problems, rather than vice versa – a chicken-and-egg problem of the sort that can be understood only through a longitudinal study.”–Ami Albernaz, The Boston Globe
