[The effect of alcohol withdrawal syndrome on the self concept of alcoholics in the Freiburg Personality Inventory (FPI) at admission and in the course of therapy]
Abstract
Looking through the items of the FPI the hypothesis was proposed that the FPI determines aspects of the alcohol-withdrawal-syndrome. Greater deviations from standard norms found on admission and greater changes during inpatient treatment can be attributed to the occurrence of withdrawal symptoms and their improvement. Alcoholics without withdrawal symptoms seem to describe themselves quite normally on personality dimensions.
