Alcoholism and psychiatry have not mixed well. Part of the emerging solution to this problem is a shift from psychoanalytic to existential psychotherapy. This paper endorses the existential approach with alcoholic patients because it focuses on the essential issues of death, freedom, isolation, and meaninglessness. Recovery from alcoholism requires the acceptance of the reality of the fatality of the disease as well as one's own mortality; the ability to make free choices with responsibility, action, and positive and creative will; the capacity to love and be intimate while understanding our basic isolation and separateness; and, the ability to engage life, to make contact with others, and to infuse living with meaning, not absurdity. These more spiritual concerns are the realm of existential psychotherapy. |
