Abstract
A group of 100 alcoholic veterans of both World Wars were scored on a 22-item list of traits indicative of maladjustment. Comparisons were made with 4 other groups of 100 each [long dash]psychotic veterans of World War I, psychotic veterans of World War n, psychoneurotic veterans, and "well adjusting" normals. While normals scored an avg. of 1.5 factors, psychotic veterans scored over 10 factors, psychoneurotic veterans 7, and alcoholic veterans 8. The behavior problems of alcoholics are seen as essentially problems of human relationship. Alcoholism cannot be construed as a phenomenon of individual factors or interpersonal factors or cultural pattern factors but is related to all of these as well as to time and place.Keywords
