[Varieties of alcoholic abstinence]
Abstract:
On the basis of the evidence obtained from a clinical-psychopathological study of 154 patients with chronic alcoholism, four types of the abstinence syndrome were specified, including 1) ordinary nonpsychotic astheno-vegetative dysthymia; 2) an astheno-melancholic reaction as exogenically resolved "soil depression"; 3) a depressive-vegetative cyclothymic reaction or phase; 4) a schizothymovegetative reaction or exacerbation of an uneventful schizophrenic shift.
