Abstract

The Munich-Alcoholism-Test (MALT) consists of two parts. The first part of the test has seven items which are answered by the physician (MALT-F) and the second is a self-assessment section comprising 24 items answered by the patient (MALT-S). This test explores three aspects which are relevant to the diagnosis of alcoholism: drinking patterns and approaches, psychological and social damages and finally somatic disturbances (1).
