TEST YOURSELF: THE SYMPTOMS AND PHASES OF ALCOHOLISM (JELLINEK CHART MODIFIED)*

This chart was originally formulated by Dr. E.M. Jellinek, M.D. in 1952 for the Quarterly Journal Of Alcohol Studies. Dr. Jellinek's purpose was to illustrate the various phases of alcohol addiction or the successive stages a person passes through in becoming an alcoholic, although Jellinek believes that the chart is applicable to any form of drug addiction.
