Seventy-two alcoholics being treated at Veritas Villa were divided into an experimental and a control group. In addition to the regular treatment program both groups received four subliminal exposures of a verbal message in each of six sessions over a 2-week period. The messages were MOMMY AND I ARE ONE (experimental) and PEOPLE ARE WALKING (control), administered under double-blind conditions. In keeping with the main hypothesis, the experimental Ss were rated as significantly more involved in treatment. In addition, among the alcoholics who were more symptomatic to begin with, the MOMMY message, when contrasted with the control, lowered anxiety and depression, enhanced self-concept, and reduced alcohol consumption after a 3-month follow-up.
在真理山庄接受治疗的72名酗酒者被分为实验组和对照组。除了常规治疗方案外，两组在为期两周的六个疗程中，每组都接受了四次潜意识语言信息暴露。信息分别是“我和妈妈是一体的”（实验组）和“人们在行走”（对照组），在双盲条件下进行。与主要假设一致，实验组受试者在治疗中的参与度被评为明显更高。此外，在最初症状更明显的酗酒者中，与对照组相比，“妈妈”信息在3个月的随访后降低了焦虑和抑郁，增强了自我概念，并减少了酒精摄入量。
