On the basis of the experience gained in clinical psychiatry, the works of the last ten years on experimental-psychological efficiency diagnostics with respect to chronic alcoholics are compiled and arranged according to the more important efficiency-psychological scopes. The comparisons that have been made in the quoted, non-selected studies between alcoholics and control groups corroborate that chronic alcoholism leads to a multidimensional damage structure which is test-psychologically provable. In conclusion, factors that may lead to different reductions in efficiency and hypotheses about the connection between chronic alcoholism and efficiency are discussed.
