Study of the personality of patients with alcoholism at various stages of the disease

In the last two decades, many works have appeared in the scientific literature devoted to the experimental psychological study of the personality of patients with alcoholism [3–6]. In the most fundamental of them [6], the main personality types were identified on a large sample of alcoholics using the MMPI technique. However, it remains unclear what characterological features were introduced in the process of alcohol abuse, since all patients with alcoholism were subjected to research, regardless of alcohol "experience", the structure and rate of the disease. At the same time, in practice, it is very important to assess the personality of patients with alcoholism, the ratio of characterological features at various stages of the disease.
