[Treatment of alcoholism by affective counterattribution].

A new narcopsychotherapeutic technique termed "affective counterattribution" (ACA) is offered to treat alcohol addiction. The use of ACA increased the effectiveness of alcoholism treatment that was ensured by association of strong pharmacogenic negative emotional experience coupled with bright hallucinatory images to notions of alcohol and alcohol-related stimuli. Alcoholic attitude was destroyed and the patients' pathological personality traits were corrected.
