Harper’s Magazine - February 1963 - Alcoholics Anonymous: Cult or Cure?

“Alcoholics Anonymous: Cult or Cure?” by Arthur Cain in the February 1963 issue of Harper’s Magazine. The article is on pages 48-52.

Cain claims that AA, although operating on the basis of a useful idea, has turned into a dogmatic religious movement and is a hinder an end to research, psychiatry, and many alcoholics who need a different kind of help. He shows how AA is in the almost complete control of public education on alcoholism. This is the first anti-AA article to appear in a popular magazine.

The magazine is in excellent condition and fully intact with no torn or missing pages. Light wear to the spine and corners of the magazine pages.

Included with the magazine is a newspaper article clipping titled “Pill Kills Alcoholics’ Desire For Drink” from the December 18, 1966 issue of The Akron Beacon Journal.
