S Grantaliano, and C Pierlorenzi, and C Valenzi

The results obtained in an investigation carried out on male alcoholics who had not drunk for three years are presented and evaluated. The research was carried out on a sample of 200 subjects aged between 30 and 50, average schooling, belonging to AA groups. The purposes of the study were to identify the psychopathological features of the sample in relation to the neurotic and psychotic aspects of the personality. A comparison was subsequently made with a similar female sample selected from a previous research. An abbreviated form of the MMPI test was used in the clinical part.
