Due to his relationship to alcohol which has cut off all other relationship, the alcoholic patient is left alone with a double image of himself: the image of what he has become and the one of what he has been or could have been. The therapist is therefore ill - at - ease in front of this splitting, with varied reactions influenced by his own personality, by the patient's personality and by what alcohol means to both of them. Several attitudes may result from this relational difficulty: rejection and possible referral to a "specialist", symptomatic treatment or rigid, ethical, defensive attitudes. The approach to be alcoholic should pass through acceptance of his relationship to alcohol and the privileged place it occupies in his life so as to enable him to have access to another relationship with some one who restitutes him his human dignity.
由于酗酒者与酒精的关系切断了所有其他关系，他只能独自面对自己的双重形象：他现在的样子以及他曾经或本可以成为的样子。因此，面对这种分裂，治疗师会感到不自在，其反应因自身性格、患者性格以及酒精对他们两人的意义而异。这种关系上的困难可能导致几种态度：拒绝并可能转介给“专家”、对症治疗或采取僵化、道德、防御性的态度。对待酗酒者的方法应该是接受他与酒精的关系以及酒精在他生活中占据的特殊地位，以便使他能够与一个恢复他人类尊严的人建立另一种关系。
