Abstract
The successful management of 50 problem drinkers in a Veterans Administration hospital is discussed. In the overwhelming majority of these cases the alcoholism has been a secondary manifestation of a primary severe mental disorder. Disulfiram (Antabuse) is added to intensive psychotherapy in carefully selected cases.Keywords
