[Outpatient stress psychotherapy of patients with alcoholism]

Trial of the method of stress psychotherapy developed by Dovzhenko has revealed its high efficacy: over 68% of treated patients continue the remission in a year after the treatment. The essence of the technique consists in the reaction of a stable psychological orientation toward a prolonged abstinence from alcohol by employing a complex of sequential psychotherapeutic methods and approaches materialized by means of physiogenic (stress) impacts aimed at activization of emotiogenic mechanisms of the brain.
