Abstract

A questionnaire was sent to accredited adult psychiatric residency training programs to investigate details of their alcoholism training. Three-quarters of the responding programs reported they had a formal training module for alcoholism. The educational sites were primarily acute inpatient settings using group therapy as the favored modality of treatment. A high proportion of programs included psychiatrists as educators. The importance of expanding alcoholism training to augment psychiatry’s expanding role in treating addictive behaviors is discussed.
