Cannon, Dale S.; Baker, Timothy B.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v49 n3 p360-68 Jun 1981

Follow-up data are presented for 6- and 12-months on male alcoholics (N=20) who received either a multifaceted inpatient alcoholism treatment program alone (controls) or emetic or shock aversion therapy in addition to that program. Both emetic and control subjects compiled more days of abstinence than shock subjects. (Author)
