À partir de vingt-six revues publiées au Québec et de thèses présentées à l'Université Laval depuis 1960, les auteurs dressent un bilan critique des études psychologiques et socio-culturelles de l'alcoolisme. L'inventaire a été dressé en regroupant les travaux autour de quatre types d'études ; épidémiologiques, étiologiques, cliniques et préventives. Chaque type d'étude comporte une revue commentée des travaux expérimentaux et théoriques ainsi qu'une analyse des principales lacunes à combler. En conclusion, les auteurs énoncent les principes directeurs d'une intervention renouvelée dans le domaine de l'alcoolisme. Having reviewed twenty-six journals published in Quebec, the authors establish a critical inventory of psychological and socio-cultural studies of alcoholism published since 1960. The review is built around four types of studies, namely, epidemiological, etiological, clinical and preventive. For each type of study there are extensive comments on empirical and theoretical studies as well as an identification of the main gaps to be filled. In conclusion, the authors formulate the main guiding principles for a renewed public and private action in the field of alcoholism.
