TI  - Comorbid psychiatric disorders predict and influence treatment outcome in female 
      alcoholics.
PG  - 39-44
AB  - Drinking patterns, psychiatric comorbidity and personality disorders (PD) at 
      intake and at a 2-year follow-up were studied in 120 female alcoholics early in 
      their treatment career. At follow-up, the women had improved their drinking 
      patterns, but their mental health still differed significantly from women of the 
      general population. Psychiatric comorbidity at intake correlated with a 
      significantly worse drinking and mental health outcome. Subjects with high scores 
      on phobias more frequently dropped out of treatment and thereby had a worse 
      drinking outcome. Subjects with depression at follow-up also had a poorer 
      drinking outcome, as well as subjects with schizoid PD. When tested by 
      multivariate analyses, only depression at follow-up contributed significantly to 
      the increased explained variance in drinking outcome when controlling for 
      drinking pattern and treatment duration.
