[Thoughts on the use of the Roether Tempo and Memory Ability Test in the management of alcoholic patients]

The paper deals with some early results of the employment of Roethers method for determining reactions and retentivity in adults in the diagnosis and treatment of alcoholic patients. The tests practicability is set forth, and an attempt made to establish a Value of Instability for visual memory as an additional parameter. The first comparative results indicate significantly greater instability in the case of gamma alcoholics in the chronic stage than in the oase of gamma alcoholics in the critical stage and alpha alcoholics and epsilon alcoholics.
