Abstract:
We examined the relationship of major depression, aspects of antisocial personality disorder, family history of alcoholism, treatment history, and onset of alcohol problems to the severity of alcohol dependence and severity of social/occupational problems due to alcohol. Subjects were 111 randomly sampled patients in alcohol rehabilitation. The predictor variables formed different patterns of relationships with alcohol dependence and with social/occupational problems. Implications of the findings for future research are discussed.
