A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Treatment of Alcoholism
Abstract
Treatment of the alcoholic, to be successful, must be multidisciplinary. The use of psychotherapy or counseling, disulfiram (Antabuse), Alcoholics Anonymous, group therapy, psychodrama, occasionally LSD, sometimes hypnosis, and treatment of the families concurrently will enhance the results. In many cases the clergy may also be helpful. For the social isolation of the alcoholic, and often for his employment difficulties, it will be necessary to use the many ancillary resources of the community.
