Abstract
This article describes changes in the design of job-based alcoholism programs between 1955 and 1972, and discusses the influences of professional organizations, program practitioners, research, and government on programs. A social movement perspective is adopted to analyze general program development. This period is characterized as one of coalescence, reformulation and regularization that was necessary before the explosive growth of programs in the following years could occur.Keywords
