Doug Thorburn is an American researcher and the author of several books on alcoholism and addiction. The first of these books, published six years after Thorburn began researching alcoholism, is Drunks, Drugs and Debits: How to Recognize Addicts and Avoid Financial Abuse. He followed it up with a primer on identifying DUIs before they become tragically obvious, Get Out of the Way! How to Identify and Avoid a Driver Under the Influence, and then How to Spot Hidden Alcoholics: Using Behavioral Clues to Identify Addiction in its Early Stages. His fourth book is Alcoholism Myths and Realities: Removing the Stigma of Society's Most Destructive Disease. Thorburn focuses in his works on the relationship between alcoholism/addiction and destructive behavior, the most effective means for identifying and treating alcoholism/addiction, and the best methods for protecting society from alcoholic/addict misbehavior.
