Abstract

A father and son, both chronic alcoholics, were studied in an experimental intoxication paradigm. Marked affective shifts, emergence of hidden themes, and role reversals followed the course of the drinking experience. However, with the cessation of drinking, a return to the typical sober state ensued. It would appear that the use of alcohol itself might also be applied to further research in the area of treatment for the chronic alcoholic.
