Abstract
This paper describes and attempts to evaluate an alcoholism treatment programme in two Caribbean islands with a multi-racial population of just under a million. The programme, initiated by the author in 1956, combined emetine aversion treatment in a group setting, with milieu therapy and group psychotherapy of a didactic kind aimed at producing conversion (rather than aversion) to uncritical belief in the tenets of Alcoholics Anonymous.Keywords
