Abstract

This paper discusses superego fixations and regressions that predispose to and are caused by alcoholism. Two continua of superego functioning are explored, (1) the extent of internalization vs. externalization and (2) regulation of behavior vs. self-castigation. The superego constellations in guilty, binge, sociopathic, and deteriorated alcoholics are delineated to explain the interaction of a treatment program with these patients.
