title: Reversibility of cognitive deficit in alcoholics.
abstract: Testing of alcoholics and matched controls on a series of psychological measures and retesting approximately 14 months later showed improvement in alcoholics' problem-solving abilities, but not to the level of controls. Improvement was not related to posttreatment drinking behavior.
