RESULTS OF HOSPITAL TREAT- MENT OF ALCOHOLISM

Now that alcoholism is freely dis- cussed and recognized as a. defect 1n the make-up of the alcoholic. many common and uncommon causes are being found by digging deeply into his personal history.

At one time it was thought that it showed a lack of intelligence for anyone to allow himself to be made unconscious and not respon- slble for his actions by the use of alcohol. The work done at. the Yale School for the Study of Al- cohol, however, has clearly shown that intellect has no relation to alcoholism.

Forturiateiy our psysciiiatrisls. busy as all of them are, are giving much time to the study of altoho- lism and its treatment.

The ixprirt of 2: study, "Results in Hospital Treatment of Alcoho- lism in Malta." by Drs. Curtis T. Proutv, Edivartl l. S'.roii;,'in, and Mary Alice White, White Plains. N. Y.. amiczired in American Jour- nal of Psychiatry. They review the tr:-atmeiit and observations made upon one hundred men patients between August. 1940, and January. 1948, in a psychiatric hospital, who had been hospitalized because of ovcrindulzence in alcoholic bev- eragos. Of these 100 men, 89 were diaiznriscd as "Alcoholism without Mental Disoi'der." The other 11 were with alcoholic psychosis lmelllill disorderl. "A review of family background in these cases revealed ll prevalence of suicide. alcoholism or various degrees of lack of capacity from mental ill- ness In nine families where al- coholism had existed a spontane- ous reformation had taken place and five of the patients from these families were now abstaining."

Another interesting finding was that from the intellectual" stand- polH9,' these patients were above the avenge and 68 had attended college.

Tine outstanding physical abnor- malities in order to frequency were tremors. high blood pressure, enlarged liver. llEllIll.l5. During their stay in hospital the percent- a;.'e of accidents among them was high. Notwltl'istanrilng that there were so many university patients, the beginniii,-.: of the drinking habit was due to something with- in thcmselvcs, not mixing with others.

DEAR MISS DIX: My husband has told me several times that he loves another woman. I thought it would all blow over, so have tried to ignore the situation.

After all, if he is firmly resolved on his course, he can get a divorce without your consent. Before giving him a definite answer, why not consult a marriage counsellor for advice?
