Drinking problems.

This is a study of 54 patients referred for treatment of drinking problems. They were from two age groups--20 to 39 years and 40 to 59 years. More of the younger patients were referred by their families and older patients by their doctors or other health professionals. The younger patients had a mean duration of 8.2 years of drinking and were more severely dependent on alcohol (higher mean SADQ score). The older patients' mean duration of drinking was 14.1 years and had a lower mean SADQ score. More younger patients had work and family problems, but did not differ significantly from the older patients in alcohol-related physical or mental disabilities.

Work stress and mental distress.

In a study of 14 managers and 25 workers who were referred for psychiatric treatment, the majority suffered from depressive illness (60%) or anxiety neurosis (28%). The main work problem of the managers was conflict with the employers (or directors), but for the workers the main problem was difficulty with fellow workers. The patients' scores on the Work Environment Scale (WES) indicated that the managers felt they had little supervisor support and work pressure was great. However the workers complained of poor peer cohesion but could get on well with the employers, and their work was not too taxing.
