Popis:	Forty subjects with serious mental illness and alcoholism were interviewed about their experiences with Alcoholics Anonymous. All had attended one or more meetings of special AA groups for dually diagnosed members. Information was obtained about their illness, heir first meeting, how they used the groups, and ways in which they participated in meetings. Investigators found that intensity of AA involvement was related to the degree of comfort they felt in groups. Demographic and personality characteristics did not correlate with involvement. A majority of subjects maintained their involvement in the meetings of special AA groups or in regular AA meetings.
