An equivalence between categories of modules for a generalized Kac-Moody algebra and modules for an appropriate parabolic subalgebra is shown. In particular, properties such as the irreducibility and complete reducibility of a module whose weights satisfy certain conditions can be determined by restriction to a subalgebra.
