Alcoholic Treatment
Is Given New Trend
By 'Diagnostic Clinic
Yale Experts Explain
Outcome Of Studies on
Cases Closely Studied

New trends of treatment in the
cure of chronic alcoholics, in which
"diagnostic clinics" and sociological
studies of the problem will play i'm
portant roles, were disclosed at a
conference held here yesterday to
discuss ways of rehabilitating those
addicted to drink.
The new methods in which the
social and psychological origins OF
the patients difficulties will re-
ceive special consideration were
revealed to civic, social and church
leaders attending the conference, by
a trio of Yale University professors
who are conducting experiments ir
the treatment of alcoholism at the
university's school of alcoholic
studies.
Speakers at the meeting held ir
the United States Chamber of Com.
merce Building were agreed that ir
most cases reorientation in ar
alcoholics social life must take
place before he can be cured. II
was said that until recently treat.
ment in most cases was either by
psychiatric or medicinal methods
These methods must be augmented
by studies of the social forces affect
ing the individual, the conference
was told
Diagnosis Started.
DR.. E. M. Jellinek. director of Yale
UniverSity's school of alcoholic
studies. reported that diagnostio
clinics have been started in New
Haven and Hartford, Conn, in an
effort to make scientific sociological
studies into the alcoholic problem
To augment the clinics findings
surveys will be conducted in various
cities to find out general informa-
ton relating to the problem. DR.
Jellinek said.
DR.. Dwight Anderson. public rela-
tions directokof the New York Medi-
cal Society. told the conference that
certain kinship may be found be-
tween alcoholics, reformers and
idealists, in that they all seek
perfection.
Group Seeks Perfection.
Many of these alcoholics are not
trying to escape reality. What most
OF them are really seeking is perfec-
tion," he declared. Most of the alco-
holics Of this group turn to drinking
because of their feeling of made
quacy, Dr. Anderson asserted.
The conference was sponsored by
the Corrections Committee of the
Council of Social Agencies of the
District of Columbia and Vicinity
and the Committee on Religious
Life in the Nations Capital.
