While working as a registrar on a Regional Alcoholism Treatment Unit (ATU), I took part in a weekly support group for women. This afforded a valuable insight into the way in which alcoholism affects women, and showed how a group could be used by its members in a variety of ways. It was an important and valuable learning experience which is not commonly available to trainees in psychiatry.
