Abstract
This report is based on a study carried out at the Unit for the Treatment of Alcoholism, Royal Edinburgh Hospital. The unit and its orientation has been described elsewhere (Walton, Ritson and Kennedy, 1966; Ritson and Smith, 1967). It is usual for patients to stay in hospital for six weeks rather than the three to four weeks that was the practice earlier (Walton et al., 1966).
