Community prevention of alcohol problems

This book is an action research study of a community at work.

The community prevention project set the system in motion, revealing its character and internal dynamics.

This process and its context are analyzed from a sociological point of view.

It is shown that the type of community prevention that really works and creates sustainable changes, is neither value neutral nor given from above: it adheres to reason, rituals and emotions alike, and requires subjective involvement of the people in the community.
