“…Although outcome was not evaluated blindly, controls were not available, and the sample of patients referred was not representative of all social classes, a positive outcome appeared promising. This is particularly so in light of negative reports on the experience of treatment in private practice ( Hayman, 1956; Vaillant, 1981). Further exploration of this treatment option under controlled conditions may therefore be productive.…”

“…There have been a number of previous attempts, included among which were those by Hayman (1956), Mackey (1963), Marcus (1963), Mendelson, Wexler, Kubzansky, Harrison, Leiderman, and Solomon (1964), Mindlin (1964), Blaine, Hill, and Brown (1968), Linsky (1970), Ferneau and Getler (1971), Knox (1971), Moody (1971), and Ferneau and Payne (1972), to investigate the views, opinions, attitudes and reactions of various groups toward the alcoholic specifically and alcoholism more generally.

This study describes the devetopment of a 24:-item instrument dealing with attitudes toward alcoholics and alcoholism. Data are presented for 135 graduate students on six conceptually derived scales referable to attitudes toward alcoholics: Psychological Etiology, Physical-Genetic Etiology, Social Rejection, Humanism, Moral Weakness, and the Medical Illness Model. The scales were found to be relatively independent of one another and only minimally related to social desirability, sex of respondents, education, and age. In addition, a factor analysis was done. Satisfactory test-retest reliabilities were established for the scales on a new sample of 3OSs. Validation data are also reported revealing that 41 hospitalized alcoholics had more negative views of alcoholics and were more likely to regard alcoholism as an illness caused by a physical disturbance than were non-alcoholics. Moreover, for nonalcoholics there was a significant inverse relationship between the reported quantity of alcohol consumed and the tendency to characterize the alcoholic as morally weak.
