Abstract

Outcomes of a survey by questionnaire on 265 male alcoholics and their 230 families relating basic attributes, psychosocial factors and its correlation with prognosis after a year of inpatient treatment were examined. As for the basic attributes, factors such as family bond, referral for treatment by specialists and the treatment history were correlated with good prognosis . In regard to psychosocial factors, "cohesion" and high level of family function, "denial", family's "obsessive-compulsive traits" were related to positive prognosis. However contrary to preceding studies, "adaptability", "self-acceptance" and "domination trend" were also correlated to good prognosis. In the beginning of treatment, rigid family function were indicated by "adaptability", "domination trend" and "hitting the bottom" occasioned by "self-acceptance", evidenced to be positively correlated to prognosis after a year.
