Supervised Disulfiram in Relapse Prevention in Alcohol-Dependent Patients Suffering From Comorbid Borderline Personality Disorder—An Case Series

摘要

Aims: Disulfiram is widely used to prevent alcoholic relapse.

We examined the safety and efficacy in relapse prevention of a series of alcoholics with borderline personality disorder (BPD).
