One-fifth of clients attending a community-based voluntary agency presented for treatment with an alcohol problem complicated by affective disorder, phobic anxiety or personality disorder. A matched sample of patients recruited from an Alcohol Treatment Unit, and assessed using the same stringent clinical criteria, had similar levels of formal psychiatric disorder, except for a small group of women. One quarter of women in this group were phobic with some overlap of affective disorder. Rates of psychological symptoms as opposed to psychiatric disorder were high in both samples and appeared to be associated with severity of dependence on alcohol. No sex differences were apparent in the rates of psychological symptoms. The practical as well as theoretical implications of these findings were discussed.
在一家社区志愿机构接受治疗的客户中，五分之一的人因酒精问题前来就诊，这些问题还伴有情感障碍、恐惧症焦虑或人格障碍。从酒精治疗单元招募的一组匹配患者，使用相同严格的临床标准进行评估，除一小部分女性外，他们的正式精神疾病水平相似。该组四分之一的女性患有恐惧症，且伴有一些情感障碍重叠。与精神疾病相比，两个样本中的心理症状发生率都很高，并且似乎与酒精依赖的严重程度有关。心理症状发生率没有明显的性别差异。讨论了这些发现的实际意义和理论意义。
