    Abstract:
    The aim of our study was to estimate the correlation between typological division of male alcoholics and intensity of psychopathological symptoms in one year follow-up study. The studies at the Department of Psychiatry in Poznań included 82 men hospitalized after the period of drinking and examined one year after the treatment. The typological division of male alcoholics was the subject of another study and the patients included in this examination belonged to that investigative group. Two typological groups were isolated. The first group included the patients who-were characterized by late age of the disease onset, light load of alcoholic problems in a family, slight intensity of addiction profoundness, rare occurrence of psychiatric disorders and somatic diseases. The second group was characterized by an early age of the disease onset, profound addition, load of alcoholic problems in a family, frequent occurrence of somatic diseases and psychiatric disorders. The psychometric estimation was conducted on the basis of the results of the HDA, STAI XI, X2 scales. It was found out that the attachment to a typological group was not connected with maintaining of abstinence in one-glow follow-up study. In one year follow-up study the patients who belonged to the second typological group were characterized by higher intensity of depressive symptoms.
