Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Alcoholism is associated with cognitive deficits which may affect social processing. • We tested whether alcoholism affects visuo-spatial perspective taking (VSPT). • Alcohol dependent (AD) participants show no VSPT deficits in this task. • Non-AD participants show an automatic VSPT effect to fearful faces only. • However ADs show an automatic VSPT effect to both neutral and fearful faces.
