Abstract (AI)
SvMMaaY. Life histories of 35 men and 16 women who resolved their chronic drinking problems without professional or formal treatment were analyzed to determine whether and by what means spontaneous remission of alcoholism occurs.
Key Findings
1
Life-history analysis was conducted on 51 recovered alcoholics (35 men, 16 women) to determine mechanisms of remission.
2
Spontaneous remission from chronic alcoholism occurs without professional or formal treatment, observed in studied individuals.
3
The study provides empirical observations intended to identify the means by which spontaneous remission occurs and their theoretical implications.
