Recovery of Cognitive Functioning in Alcoholics: The Relationship to Treatment
1Mark S. Goldman, Ph.D., is Distinguished Research Professor, director of the Alcohol and Substance Use Research Institute, and director of training in clinical psychology, Department of Psychology, University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida.
Abstract:
Alcoholics' successful recovery depends on their regaining cognitive functioning. Although their cognitive deficits often are subtle and improve with a period of abstinence from alcohol, they can hamper the effectiveness of treatment programs. If patients cannot comprehend the information imparted during therapy, they may not be able to use treatment strategies successfully in "real world" challenges. Cognitive recovery can be enhanced using strategies such as repeated mental exercises. Adding such practice to treatment regimens could improve some alcoholics' chances of recovering successfully.
