title: [Experimental psychological research on the level of pretensions in alcoholics taking the sex factor into account].
abstract: An experimental psychological study has involved 50 males and 53 females with Stage I-II alcoholism during their first hospitalization. The studied patients presented an extravert-neurotic type of personality degradation. Abnormalities of motivational activity in an experimental situation of choice were characterized by a very low level of pretensions in male alcoholics and the maximum level of pretensions in female alcoholics. An analysis of intellectual productivity of the patients has indicated a low intellectual output and inability of the rational utilization of the intellectual potential. In view of the heterogeneity of affective disturbances in men and women, the author recommends a differential psychotherapeutical approach to alcoholic patients of different sex.
