In this empirical research studying the indicators of the quality of life and cognitive functioning in patients with alcoholism complicated by exogenous organic brain damage of non-alcoholic nature, 75 male patients were examined. The quality of life in patients was assessed using the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) questionnaire. Cognitive tests were used to assess cognitive functioning: Go/NoGo, Corsi, and the Stroop color test. It was found that the level of the quality of life in all indicators (except for general health) was lower in patients with alcoholism complicated by exogenous organic brain damage. It was also revealed that patients with alcoholism complicated by exogenous organic brain damage have lower indicators of executive functions, spatial working memory and cognitive flexibility compared with patients with “pure” alcoholism.
