abstract="Previous studies at this VA hospital had indicated considerable evidence of &quot;serious problem drinking&quot; among the psychiatric patients. Mailed questionnaires to 344 treatment staff members assessed their attitudes toward and recommended approach to this problem as a function of job classification and personal drinking patterns. Results indicated that physicians, psychologists, and social workers favored a &quot;therapeutic&quot; approach to the problem, while nurses and nursing assistants advocated &quot;punitive&quot; measures. Interestingly, staff members who reported light or moderate personal drinking recommended additional therapy for these patients, while staff members who reported personal abstinence or heavy drinking generally suggested punitive actions.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
