Summary The beginning of a modem field of alcohol studies based on multidisciplinary research and treatment for alcohol problems is described. The role of E. M. Jellinek in the creation of this field is analysed in terms of his activities to identify, gather, and disseminate alcohol research information. This work influenced the direction, and laid the foundation, for alcohol research for the next several decades.
