[Following up alcoholics. Comparative results two years after being treated for their alcoholism (author's transl)]
Abstract:
The authors are reporting about a two years experiment, following up alcoholics after their withdrawal treatment. Their work estimates the comparative results of two homogeneous groups : two-hundred patients, undergoing the same supporting psycho-therapy but receiving a different drug treatment. Reviewing their experiment, they evaluate the improvements they have achieved concerning anxiety, asthenia and depression on the one hand ; and on the other hand the alcoholics' ability to reintegrate into normal life, from a family, conjugal, sexual, professional and social point of view. The overall results are expressed in terms of abstinence, relapse, hospitalization and normalization of their behavior and character.
