Intellectual assessment in a Midwestern alcoholism treatment population.
A study of 867 patients at a midwestern alcoholism treatment center which used Shipley-Hartford Institute of Living Scale scores and WAIS scores indicates that intellectual differences in this population are due to age and socioeconomic differences than to alcoholism. However, these real differences can be used to plan dismissal and rehabilitation policies for individual patients.
