Abstract

In recent years, there has been increasing recognition that alcohol dependence and problem drinking are not unitary phenomena. This recognition has led to heightened interest in the classification of alcohol-related disorders, either by identifying significant dimensions along which problem drinkers vary or by identifying subtypes of alcohol abusers. An important assumption that underlies this line of research is that certain patient characteristics or types may be differentially responsive to different treatment interventions. This assumption has been called the “matching hypothesis” by Glaser.1
