Abstract
The relationship between subjective symptom reduction and sobriety was studied for 82 male alcoholics who had completed an inpatient Alcoholic Rehabilitation Unit that included six or more biofeedback/relaxation sessions. Specific symptom relief for anxiety was significantly correlated with sobriety. In addition, the reduction of symptoms showed a positive trend with sobriety. The discussion focuses on the relationship of anxiety-related symptoms and alcohol abuse.
