Abstract

Treatment of the alcoholic, to be successful, must be multidisciplinary. The use of psychotherapy or counseling, disulfiram (Antabuse), Alcoholics Anonymous, group therapy, psychodrama, occasionally LSD, sometimes hypnosis, and treatment of the families concurrently will enhance the results.
