Chemical Dependency, Denial, and the Academic Lifestyle.

Donovan, Bruce E.

Academe, v76 n1 p20-24 Jan-Feb 1990

The effects of problems with alcohol and other drugs are sometimes subtle, sometimes extravagant, and always debilitating. The tendency for individuals to deny their own problems makes the need for firm and compassionate colleagues more important. Intervention is a way of bringing sympathetic help to a colleague in distress. (MLW)
