A further look at the Institutionalized Chronic Alcoholic Scale
Abstract:
Investigated a newly developed MMPI scale--the Institutionalized Chronic Alcohol Scale (ICAS)--designed to separate alcoholics from neurotics. With a sample of 75 alcoholic and 50 neurotic male Veterans Administration Hospital inpatients, the ICAS was found to separate the two groups, correctly identifying 78%, but was slightly less effective than two other previously used alcoholism scales by MacAndrew (Amac) and Holmes (Am). Data from 30 male Veterans Administration Hospital heroin addicts lend some support to the statement, which appears in the original article, that the ICAS should not be used to distinguish between alcoholics and people other than neurotics.
