[Ego strength level and treatment for alcoholics].
In this study, the level of ego strength between alcoholics and normal controls were compared by means of response obtained from TAT (Thematic Apperception Test) Card 1. Further, the ego strength level of alcoholics were classified into four Groups (A, B, C, and D). The characteristics of these groups were compared in terms of factors such as the ego strength level, the frequency in use of denial, the motivation for a treatment and the participation rate to a self-help group and the treatment effects.
