Maintained controlled drinking following severe alcohol dependence--a case study.
A case study is presented of a 10-year follow-up of a 46-year-old alcohol dependent client who chose a goal of controlled drinking on discharge from an ATU. Despite the severity of his problem, the data collected throughout the 10 year period from a variety of sources indicate that he has been successful in maintaining his goal. Variables are suggested which might have been influential in this particular individual's outcome.
