Abstract
The Tennessee Self-concept Scale was administered to 140 male alcoholics when they voluntarily entered the 60-day Alcoholic Treatment Program at the Lexington, Kentucky, Veterans Administration Hospital. The alcoholics differed significantly in a negative direction from the standardization group on 10 scales. The test results suggest that the alcoholics' derogative self-perceptions are general and not specific to narrow phases of personality and behavior.Keywords
