Controlled drinking training with a female alcoholic.
Controlled drinking training based upon an avoidance conditioning paradigm (Mills, Sobell & Schaefer, 1971) has previously been demonstrated to offer an alternative to abstinence for some alcoholics. This paper describes the treatment and outcome of controlled drinking training as applied to a 33 year old female who had previously attempted abstinence and who could engage in sexual intercourse only after drinking.
