The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of imago psychotherapy on Abstinence Likelihood Inventory and Self-concept of alcoholics who are hospitalized. The period of this research was from May 10, 2000 to October 12, 2000. The subjects were 12 alcoholics who are hospitalized in T mental hospital located in Taegu City. The research design was a one -group pretest - posttest design and the theoretical framework was psychodynamic theory. Colleted data were analyzed by paired t-test with SPSS program. The results of this research were as follows: 1. There was no significant difference of Abstinence Likelihood Inventory scores between before and after treatment. 2. There was significant difference in self - concept in interpersonal relationship ability scale. I would like to make following suggestion with the results of this study. *Imago psychotherapy should be applied to outpatients, and then the effects of the therapy can be verified. *With repeated studies with different subjects, group psychotherapy should be a professional nursing intervention area.
