Wever, O.R., et. al. Proceedings of the First Aruban and Antillean Congress on Alcoholism, Aruba, Netherlands Antilles: September 11-13, 1970.

From the Foreword:
The First Aruban and Antillean Congress on Alcoholism was organized at the occasion of the 15th anniversary of Aruba’s chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous, in an attempt to break down many of the existing prejudices concerning alcoholism as a disease and alcoholics as sick patients, - in short to try to establish more acceptance of the disease concept of alcoholism and also to bring opinions of some highly qualified scientists in this field in order to obtain up-to-date guidelines for therapeutic and preventive purposes for Aruba’s mental health problem no. 1.
