[Group psychotherapy in the rehabilitation program for alcoholics].

The authors present a model of rehabilitation of male and female alcoholics based on group psychotherapy. The first step of the model is group psychotherapy at the restorative stage of rehabilitation under in- or outpatient conditions; the second, supporting group psychotherapy conducted not only with patients but also with married couples, children and relatives of the patient; the third, the formation of psychotherapeutic association. Sex differences have no significant impact on the employment of the proposed model.
