In accordance with neuropsychological findings, that chronic alcohol abuse can lead to cognitive impairment, a multi-phased cognitive training program (MKT) developed by Sagstetter was conducted with a group of chronic alcoholic patients. In this article this program is introduced and evaluated with regard to chronic alcoholic patients and their improvement in certain cognitive functions. The study group consisted of 11 chronic alcoholics, who regularly took part in the program. The control group consisted of 11 patients who took part on a behavior therapy program offered by the clinic and had similar social and pathological histories to those of the study group. The two groups were compared with each other with the help of a follow-up study design after approximately seven weeks. The results reveal that this present cognitive training program promotes, above all, cognitive functions such as visual short-time memory, concentration, form perception as well as combination and organisation ability.
