Systematic Desensitization of Social Anxiety in the Treatment of Alcoholism: A Psychometric Evaluation of Change
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
In recent studies in alcoholism where systematic desensitization of social anxiety has been used, it would appear that there are many changes in the total behaviour of the patient, as well as the removal of the need for excessive alcohol (Kraft, 1968). This paper aims at evaluating the changes which occurred in nine patients treated in this way, as shown in a variety of psychometric tests. Although the small size of the sample limits the scope of the study, it is hoped that the information might be of use to further investigators in this field.
