Abstract/Excerpt

Educating the alcoholic, as practiced at Patton State Hospital, California, is a therapy program attempting to train and educate the alcoholic in skills that would enable him to remain abstinent or to achieve successful controlled drinking. The inability to alleviate social and psychological stress is seen as the greatest learning deficit.
