abstract
Attitudes to treatment were investigated in medical and nursing staff and alcoholic patients at a district general hospital. Significant differences were found between the two groups, indicating that patients prefer a strict medical approach to their problems rather than a psychological one. The implications of these findings for the planning of therapeutic strategies for alcoholics are discussed.
