Abstract
A group of 48 inpatient alcoholics were studied using the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Life-time Version (SADS-L) and the Brief Standard Self-rating for Phobic Patients. Of the patients, .apprx. 1/4 were diagnosed as suffering from agoraphobia and social and mixed phobias, .apprx. 44% were diagnosed as suffering from anxiety disorders, and 46% had suffered from an episode of major depression. Data from the self-rating questionnaire were consistent with the diagnostic data. The alcoholics with phobias had experienced more severe dysphoric feelings than nonphobic alcoholics with other psychiatric disorders.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
