title: Alcohol-related impairments in male alcoholics and the psychiatric symptoms of their spouses: an attempt to replicate.
abstract: This paper reports two attempts to replicate a recent finding by Steinglass linking social-behavioral consequences of drinking with the nonalcoholic spouse's psychiatric symptomatology. Only weak support was obtained for the original findings. Discussion focused on several variables which appeared to be importantly related to the strength and generalizability of relationships under investigation.
