Overview

Alcoholism and drug dependency are worldwide problems that cut across national boundaries and social, political, class and sexual distinctions. Statistics in other countries about the widespread nature of alcohol and chemical abuse are alarming. There is no doubt that alcohol consumption is rising on a global basis, especially in a number of developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. In the Philippines, although there is no accurate statistics at present, alcoholism and drug dependency are acknowledged as serious problems affecting Filipinos in all ages and social classes. This book, based on a research project, is an attempt to delineate the role of the chaplain or pastor in pastoral care of alcoholics and substance abusers and their families-- particularly in the Philippine Armed Forces.
